Remember This?

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice, and everything nice,
That's what little girls are made of.

Kids used to recite this memory gem in jest, accepting that boys could get down and dirty but girls were like precious stones, to be cherished, loved and adored. In those days, when a man put his hands on a woman, it was a cardinal sin. Boys couldn't fight girls in school, expecting to go before a tribunal for exoneration. Once there was any form of violence against the sisters, the barbaric brothers were treated with impunity, end of story. So much has changed over the last half-a-century! Girls and by extension women are treated as punching bags all over society. But is it surprising?
Women were created to be to men like ripe fruits are to birds. Once the delicacies are ripe, birds would fly thousands of miles away to find them. In other words, women were created with the power to be the special half of the human race. The only thing that a man has to brag about is his missus, because among his friends, he is absolutely nothing - guys know each other's secrets that they are nothing without their wife. Hence, a girl's dignity is her power, that which enhances her beauty to shine on her man to lionize him. If that dignity disappears, he has nothing to flaunt his gigantism, and therefore loses respect, which is what is rampantly occurring in today's world. A man is like a big ship that depends on a simple rudder to go the distance. A man seems to be the restless soul that cannot find a resting place and it's the make-up of a woman that can settle his energy. He runs the route but he's in search of that dignified woman. When he finds her, he's like the bird that uses its sensory cells to locate the juiciest fruits in the forests. And he's well equipped with antennae to realize when the fruit is unspoiled.
