How could you
Parade such perfection
Past my powerless flesh
In purposeful temptation
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
Plump vermilion lips
A taunting offense
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
Eyes, delicious and rich
Like roasting chestnuts
Drawing me into
The blistering fire of desire
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
Shining strands
Of flowing night
A trail that leads
To the void
Endless
Eating away at my
Coeur
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
Skin so soft
Elation erupts at
The sinful touch
Enough to erase all others
Paint an entire world
Filled with expressions of us
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
The form of your body
Like the soft rolling hills
Filling an ever-fading distance
The most perfect creation
Ever to allure me
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
For your crimes shall
You be vanquished
Devilsome, repellent
Woman of my maddening
Bewitched dreams
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
No one says “NO”
You have been found
Guilty of the principal,
The unforgivable offense
Disobedience
The final nail in your coffin
Corrupting the hearts of men

It would seem to me that there are a lot of people perpetuating the age-old idea that the way a woman looks makes her deserving of some sort of sexual advances beyond her consent, possibly even punishment for said appearance. That the existence of women, in general, is somehow to blame for the ills of the world. This isn’t a new concept or tool of oppression.
Though there are new groups festering together, spouting off variations of this garbage, they gather together in echo chambers of hate-filled speech that would chill the blood running through most of our veins. You occasionally get a glimpse into these dens when it’s brought to the surface in an article or news broadcast.
It has always been wrong to treat women, to treat anyone like property, second-class citizens, or like they can be physically overpowered if that is all it takes. We are all expected by society, and if you have chosen to live your life by a religious philosophy, by God, to take responsibility for our own actions. It isn’t some great favor to the mothers, sisters, and daughters of the world to “act” like they are human beings. True leaders to be respected in the world respect others regardless of gender, age, physical abilities, or ethnicity. They always have.

Knightly Orders of the Eidruian Empire
Ancient or Pre-Megantani orders: Order of the Misty Glade: Knights of the Order of the Misty Glade are keepers of the rugged places and natural resources of the Eidru Empire. They are charged to both locate and keep account of available levels of valuable resources such as wood, fresh water, certain minerals, etc… When one resource dips too low, they dispatch knights to search out new deposits or avenues of extraction. The pick is the Order of the Misty Glade’s favored weapon and symbol, the iron head bearing the Knight’s badge number.
