"Thus, anyone who liked this poem who isn't a male hustler is liking it because the subject matter is novel, and because it is written well enough to believe that it really means something to someone somewhere."

Do you really believe that line of shit? You mean that you can't feel sorry for a child that's been molested unless you yourself have been molested? You mean that you can't feel sorry for a person who can't find employment unless you've ever had the problem? You mean that you can't have sympathy with out total, utter, and complete empathy? What ever happened to crossing that gap? Maybe I've never been a male prositute but I can relate to being shunned for other choices I've made (and some things that aren't choices). Have you never made a wrong choice and been aware that others knew it? Have you never looked into the eyes of another person and been able to see that they didn't like either you or actions? That is all it takes to empathise with the poor fellow. If you haven't the thought alone should stir some sympathy in you. I can also relate to being broken hearted. That is something I would think that even if you had never been through you would feel sorry for him about.
