I totally agree with Buffy the Sheep Slayer, but I don't want to butt in to this conversation so I'm just going to state my opinion- I completely disagree with this, but its cool to know the other side of the story.
Ah, yes. I get it now. So you are saying some things that are stereotypes and others that you believe in. I do agree with that. It was just a little confusing, and I needed a little clarification. Thank you so much for responding almost right away!
Well sure I don't agree that women should be that way at all or are. This isn't really an opinionated piece on how I think women should or should not be- it's the things that most likely a lot of women have had to deal with hearing from the beginning of when we tried to get our rights. It's the things having been heard from society, if that make sense. You know like I say in the first section you hear "be confident" but then it's confusing because confidence is society sometimes displayed in women who are not themselves?
yes, perhaps. I was slightly confused at the beginning, and you say, "Be stupid or act for men only like a women who is ditzy and fun", and "Be weak enough that men won't find you intimidating", which I don't know if it is supposed to mean something else, but it does seem like you are saying that women should always appear weak and stupid, which I respectfully do not agree with.
I apologize I do realize that it comes across that way: it's more of the sterotypes of women -just how specifically society can be from face value (kind of like the "women should only be in a kitchen mindset") but no that's not every man it's just been a broad.. issue or mindset for a long time? But not my personal opinion exactly (perhaps I should make that a bit more clear in the info section on the piece?)
hmmm...you did involve a lot of men in a lot of your lines, and some of these phrases, in my opinion, are stereotypes. Some men might not just like you because of " since a man only likes a woman with booty". I think that some men or anothers love intent could also like someone based on their personality, as well as their looks.

I appreciate it, thank you very much! May I ask, if you noticed, that the poem is actually about life?
