double standard

Imagine being a woman: aimlessly
wandering around all the time,
seeking seed for your womb - WHAT
a horrible caricature, you say! True.
Then why is it OK to depict a man
this way, thus-backwards? Aimless
wanderer, seeking wombs for his
seed? "Because it's true"? Oh,
no. That won't do. That's unfair.
Double-standard, when your slanders
are excused because they are true.
