Burning with broken promises and matrimonial taboos

In All Ways A Woman
In my young years I took pride in the fact that luck was called a lady. In fact, there were so few public acknowledgments of the female presence that I felt personally honored whenever nature and large ships were referred to as feminine. But as I matured, I began to resent being considered a sister to a changeling as fickle as luck, as aloof as an ocean, and as frivolous as nature. The phrase 'A woman always has the right to change her mind' played so aptly into the negative image of the female that I made myself a victim to an unwavering decision. Even if I made an inane and stupid choice, I stuck by it rather than 'be like a woman and change my mind.'
Being a woman is hard work. Not without joy and even ecstasy, but still relentless, unending work. Becoming an old female may require only being born with certain genitalia, inheriting long-living genes and the fortune not to be run over by an out-of-control truck, but to become and remain a woman command the existence and employment of genius.

Struggling and groping upward from the brute,

Mad fools! To think that men can be
Made equal all, when God
Made one well nigh divinity
And one a soulless clod.

So little have you seen of what awaits
Your fevered glimpse of a democracy
Confused and foiled with an equality
Not equal to the envy it creates,

Into a nation all his great heart thought,
Unsatisfied until he should achieve
The grand ideal that his manhood sought;

Above the flight of Pegasean wing!

Of the same sire, or madness breaks and runs
Through the rude world. Ridiculous our woe
