VALUE YOURSELVES CORRECTLY, FEMALES!
VALUE YOURSELVES CORRECTLY FEMALES
Value yourselves, correctly, females! Axis of us all, you are!
For the chance to mate with you, men have, will, and yet do, beg, borrow, steal, and kill, for that rare and overwhelming, privilege.
Muslim men have consigned you to "Paradise" in a virginal state that continually renews itself for the enjoyment of valorous men.
Greek men have once fought the "Trojan War" over you women, representatively, in the form of "fair Helen," who was seduced.
African men paid many head of cattle for you, to your family, for the opportunity to marry and to mate with you and bridal sisters.
All love songs are about you, including the "Song of Solomon."
The "Queen of Sheba" is you, in entourage, finery, beauty, riches, wisdom. She journeyed from far for the best, most-befitting man.
Bathsheba is also you, who bathed on her own rooftop, while her husband was at war, who later capitulated to the call of her king.
Rahab too is you, who saved the two Hebrew spies from detection, lowering them from her rooftop wall to safety, a forebear of Jesus.
Mary, the mother of Christ, is you, who having known no man, yet suffered premarital pregnancy's shame to birth mankind's Savior.
