Life Roles (poem)

Almost from the time they are born,
girls are trained to take care of children.
They're given baby dolls, dress them up
and pretend to feed them just like Mom.
At the same time, boys play sports,
play with video games and high-tech things.
Then they both grow up and fall in love,
only to raise a family together.
The woman wants the husband to share
equally in the chores and everything,
forgetting that she played with dolls
while he played with video games.
So if you want men to share equally
in their future lives with women,
don't you think we should let them
role-play with the girls and look after
their dolls while they go to work?
