I let my wife keep all the money I earn, 
But I ensure that her own money she never earns.  
I support her to get her dream job, 
But I ensure that she respects mine more.  
I let her enjoy her money, 
But I ensure I earn more. 
 
As a manager, I don’t discriminate. 
I hire her, 
But in times of crisis,  
I ensure she is the first to be fired.  
 
As a politician,  
I include women in large numbers.  
They are activists and agents and are paid well,  
But I ensure that they don’t make it to many powerful positions;  
I don’t want my historical privilege to be threatened.  
 
To the world,  
I remain kind, generous, and worthy of affection; 
While within me,  
I enjoy the manipulation.
