Why do you think empowerment for women is nonsense?

At any rate, I haven't presumed any reasons, just pointed out that "this poem is about a woman performing nude in a male arena for a lone watching man and thinking that's liberation". If I've presumed anything, it's that the undressed character is woman, for one, and she thinks her action is liberating, for another. If I'm wrong on either of these points, sorry. But then this poem has even less point than I've previously imagined.

I suspect nentwined misplaces my comments and not yours because while you reply to comments and are replied to in a more or less one-to-one fashion (ie, one of your conversations makes a nice diagonal from top left to bottom right) made possible by your ubiquitous presence on poemranker, I can only make it online an hour a day (and at the end of your long day of posting, at that,) and spend a lot of my time replying to comments that have already gotten answers from others. The comment-heirarchy bug misplaces this kind of comments. Eg, if I reply to your "I believe in telling" comment now, nentwined'll put me after richa's comment or your "Please, let's not rehash that".

That, and I think he's racist against Islams.
