Well, the picture is more extreme than your poem. I do think that feminism isn't the same as it was in the past. It takes the best balance of graciousness and intelligence to make a good point.

Comment from Wabigoon
Nassus--
I think you have more than enough good stuff, original imagery here for a really good poem -- as in the "lava" image, the "addicted to sneer," etc., -- but have not quite put it together in a way that makes the most of this potency. I think I see a lot of the current feminism in my daughter who is a special ed teacher at the local school. She just plain expects to be equal in every way and expects this to show up in politics in the number of elected women, etc. It's, in her case, a matter of who she is. I think, I hope, her mother and I succeeded. Point being, I like her "feminism." She just expects to be treated equally. Nothing less.

Thanks a lot for the generous review. Perhaps we are looking from different lenses my friend. I just cannot imagine my daughter running around the house, naked, in her hooker outfit, just to make a point. i still believe in the value of rational debate and sensible dialogue. God bless.

I, of course, did not know what the pictures were about. No, my daughter does not do that at all. If the issue is hookers are trying to use feminist liberation to explain their....job, then this is something else. I probably think they should though I'm not sure how that should manifest in reality. How should it?

Yes it does seem like some feminists or more obsessed with power in the male world than simple equality. These women in the artwork seem a little over the top.

Comment from meeshu
I can understand your trepidation in posting this work, Susan. today's feminist has thin skin. your historical analysis is spot on. the first suffragettes were gritty women fighting to change the world. the 70s feminist was fighting for something
e.g. reproductive rights and equality. today's pink pussy hat is trying to suppress freedom of another 'class' e.g. white males. the form and verse is a perfect match for your subtle position. I love your stuff, it's a 6six6..............meeshu

Thanks a lot my friend for sharing my views about these modern feminists. I just cannot imagine my daughter running around the house, naked, just to make a point and win an argument. That's quite irrational to me. I still believe in the value of rational debate, sensible dialogue and a modicum of decency. Thank you very much for the exceptional six stars. God bless. Susan
Comment from country ranch writer
People on drugs have no idea what they do or say at times and become the scum of the earth looking for the next fix. It is a crying shame they succumb to this.

Comment from SLMorrical
This is very interesting. I thought the picture was very strange and wondered if they got arrested. This is well written, and easy to read. The flow is wonderful. I like how you described the messed up beliefs of feminist today. The strive for equality is becoming non existent. Well that's how I feel. It is more about who hurt who, I think. I will say this is very well done. Keep writing.

Comment from countess gram
This is a very well done poem. It flows seamlessly and the structure makes sense and is sound.The poem draws on the emotions and imparts strong images helped by the artwork. I don't feel that you are imposing your opinions when reading this. It's not offensive to me, at least. Your well chosen words contribute to the validity of the work. Well done!!!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written free verse poem. I agree there are many ways we can celebrate our feminism without making a spectacle of the image of descent woman in public.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Certainly very graphic - both text and image! Imaginative and provocative writing for sure! Often, you link the words in each section with dramatic effects!
Junkie-syringed
Spews lava
tattooed-skin
Etc.
Very good writing and way beyond my much shorter 5-7-5 Haiku verse and style.
Thanks for your insight into a longer poem.
