Patriarchy-The Gordian Knot

which among other catch 22 situations,
supports a law in fundamentalist Islam,
whereby when a woman is raped
she has the choice of being stoned
as an adulterer (for failing to stop her attacker
as if she were some sort of heroic soldier),
or being forcibly married to her rapist,
because in his lust he thought he was right.
Even though he was blind and deaf
to how she was the property of her family,
and even if she were not then consent
was hers to offer or refuse on her terms.

The way to a woman's heart
is not through her cunt,
and it has nothing to do with religious legalese,
patriarchal culture, militarism, or male paranoia.
But old lies will persist.

Every day I find more reason
to be be happy to be gay,
or at least extremely un-patriarchal.
