I am, if not

I am not a feminist, nor do I support male chauvinism.
Both are the same, give or take.
There again stands the ideal of individualism, & too the want to be a part of a group;
while forced to stand on your own two feet & to carve a path through the thick of formulaic chaos.

Recently I have been told (by males) that for so long the world has been in the hands of men,
only to meet ruin.
Too, that if any hope of restoration exists in the sickly gut of humanity,
it should be women that take power. Apparently we hold the key to life, even if barren. Still,
my agreeing has yet to come to fruition___.
What a rip!
If anything male & female should be thriving in harmony, but we're all just too damn stubborn.

For so long I have been observing the pattern of women being held under the thumb of men, &
the selection of women that allow men to believe they are in control when in all actuality they are
simply puppets. All-in-all, in that observation, what conclusion I have reached is that both are
pulling strings attached to one another for each their own reasons.
Which of the two genders has true power in that pattern is rather___ obsolete.

My vote: annihilation.
Complete & utter destruction of humanity as a whole.
We are doomed, whether or not male or female takes control.
On the off-chance that we learn to thrive together, I guarantee it will be as we struggle to survive
in the ruin we inevitably face. What population is left will have no choice.

Call me wrong, I don't care. We're all just shouting out into a void anyway.
What good any of this does is beyond me, & you___.
