Replying to a comment on:

Middle-Aged White Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Maybe it’s time. You look at me and see a symbol of conservative acts that hurt you. My kind abused your kind. Now with your freedom, your authority, your power, it’s time for retribution. Go ahead, ignore me, don’t hire me belittle me in your verse skip over me at your readings. My ancestors did it to your ancestors. You have the right. It’s a new experience for me, that’s all. Maybe it’s time.

If you can only expunge calling Goad 'as vernal as spring' you think you can regain the respect of -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I.. To gain my respect, it will take more than that, as if you care. It will take making sense at least 30% of the time.

Your test statement to me: "Go ahead, Dovina, post 25 comments on poemranker tonight. In the Middle Ages, men regularly oppressed women. Now that there's no inequality between men and women, go wild." is not offensive. Men and women have never been equal and never will be, neither will giraffes and zebras.

Pointing out differences between giraffes and zebras or pointing out the ways they have treated each other over the years is not the same as favoring one over the other.
