Below is what the award-winning actress wrote:
THE OTHER ROOM
The Other Room
Where a woman pretends to be weak
So that a man can believe he is strong
Where a woman pretends to be foolish
So that a man can say he is wise
Where a woman stoops
So that a man can conquer.
The Other Room
Where gods of men
Become worshippers of women
Where leaders of thought
Become minions Of the bleeders of blood
Where wielders of power Succumb to power.
The Other Room
Where the brashness of testosterone
Yields to the bra straps of Estrogen
Where the bravado of masculinity
Is tamed by the wiles of femininity
Where the turgid Becomes the flaccid.
Three rooms in a house
One in which a man Believes he is king
Two in which He realizes.
A woman is god!
