Men say yes
and women say no

it is this way
has always been so

women's negativity
is a genetic strategy

programming
is damning

we can fight
but not escape it

it's always there
always right there

our decisions
contend with predispositions

always in conflict with ourselves
always in conflict with others

consciousness is trying to use a machine
in ways it isn't made for

wanting more
may get us less

women say no
men say yes
