The Woman Victimhood: Empathy or Exploitation?

It’s never her fault; always, it’s he who’s wrong,
She’ll play her woman card; he’s the one to long!
Be him the best person she’s ever met in life,
See her heartlessness—left him alone to strife!

Facing numerous struggles, she stands strong—agreed,
But misusing empathy always is not good indeed!
Eroding trust, causing much miscommunication,
Irking him with unjust accusations leads to extraneous division!

Weaponising gender merely devalues real struggles,
“I am never wrong; I’ll disturb him to death!” she says without fumbles!
Let him battle with the world or transform lives to comfort her,
Once thought to rattle, she’s backed by the “woman ace”—let whatever occur!

Like anyone else on Earth, a woman can also be at fault,
But overusing privilege stigmatises disagreement, making equality halt!
It’s useless—encouraging victimhood or fostering a divide,
Destroys credibility, just fueling rationality to confide!

Now is the time to end this false power play and be true,
Nurturing emotional intelligence, hearing all voices in this era new!
Let’s redefine empowerment—not just as sympathetic validation,
But as individuality over any gender generalisation!
