On sexism

Now if this world had only men
Some wise people say, then
There would be escape
From abduction, rape
And man would love his brother again.

So I wonder what made God conceive
The idea of adding an Eve
If in having only Adam
The world, a pure Sodom,
Would be better, as some people believe!

#Update 1: David Raphael Israel has written a lovely response to this verse, cross-posted on Caferati. Putting it up here for easy reference:

A world without woman would be
a world without water -- you see?
the earth without ocean
or heart sans devotion
were lifeless & heartless -- sez me


#Update 2: Already solutions are available for a world without Eve.

When there’ll be no women at all
Everyone can just buy this doll
The world’s sure to find
Great peace of mind
‘Coz she won’t answer back, so no brawl :-)
