RE: Not All Men

in #poetry7 years ago

I really like the power and message of this poem @shawnamawna. You're right it 'is not all men' but unfortunately I think most of us (men) know some idiot who objectifies women for sport. I play in an amateur pool league and that is where I have come across that type of one-up-man-ship, showing off tinder picks -type bullshit. I play them at pool, try to beat them and that's as far as our association goes. It does make me sad though that it is perceived as the norm in youth culture among certain social groups where I'm from. Thanks for the wonderful poem

Thank you for reading and commenting. I’m glad you don’t directly participate in the objectification. If more men like you who recognize the damage of thst behavior speak up, change will happen!
