Ten
In years gone by women considered a ten
Men felt empowered if and only when
A woman such as Boe Derek was on their arm
Women objectified not desired for their charm
Any woman that was considered less than
Was not contemplated part of the plan
Even now many years later
A misogynist, a true woman hater
Considers women with intellect and brains
Such a threat he often calls them names
Too often society lives by the creed
If you’re not perfect you must concede
To sitting on a shelf, undesirable at best
In you, they saw nothing in which to invest
Very true, clever post, clever lady 😀

5’2″ small in all the wrong places, and little soft. I was doomed from the first.

Good poem 🙂 But you know, in my experience, men DATE tens, but they don’t marry them. When they look to settle down, they are looking for something more substantial. It must be true because none of the women I know were ever anything like a “ten” … but we all found great men to love and marry.

I see that. I married a man who was shallow as was his family, which for some reason escaped me at the time, as soon as I was less than, I was of no consequence, which wasn’t the world I came from or inhabited. I thought everyone was of the same thought.
