Femininity

Her protests were nugatory
Dismissed as a feminine wile
She was a pretty plaything.

The disapproval on her face
Meant nothing, and her tears
Added to her womanly charm.

She could be had at will
A woman, he liked to believe
Says no, when she means yes.

It was indeed convenient
It made him feel virile
To take and use, and own.
