My Poem, Stupid Little Wh*** Was Given A 1.

I know the title may be offensive, but it adds the umph I needed for the poem. Please, if you have a minute, take a look at the semi-short poem and drop a quick comment. Do you think it deserved a 1?

Erm i'm not looking to make any enemies but........................ yeah it does. in the poem there's the two lines
"And in this world of lies and deceit
it's hard for her to know what is real"
The girl sounds like she's lost to me, confused and like she's been lied to so why call her a stupid little wh***? that just seems insensitive to me. btw, in your profile you say that you're the voice of every woman, sorry hun but i can speak for myself and even if you were, you need to realise that you would represent every "stupid little whore" out there. Moreover, what is your definition of a "wh***"? i hate the endless and vile lists of classifications out there, who are you to judge others? Its bad enough when you have male chauvinistic pigs running about labelling women, we don't need the ladies doing it as well. No woman out there is just a "stupid little wh***" but thats just my opinion- others might disagree. xmollyxx

btw- i don't mean to ofend you in any way, i'm just giving you my honest opinion.

I see. Thanks.

And technically, she was calling herself the wh***. I suggest you re-read the poem.

Nicole i suggest that you re-read the poem yourself.

"And all because her hopes were denied...
She sees herself for what she really is inside

A stupid little whore...

Nothing less.

Nothing more"

The way this is writtern suggests that that is what she is not what she thinks she is. xmollyxx

You're really not making any sense, Molly.

"She sees herself for what she really is inside"
(May I emphasize, SHE SEES HERSELF.)

Her evaluation, not my judgement. I wrote the poem. I'd like to think I'd know a bit better (than you) who is referring to who here.

Your opinion of my poem, however, I accept and appreciate. But your interpretation of the piece itself is off.

Also a thank you to annmarie. Sorry you didn't like the title, I know it is offensive at a first glance. But the poem (nor its title) is not meant to attack any females out there. :)

I thought the poem was very good. Unfortunately alot of girls see themselve in this way. I think the poem was a great way of getting that across.

*shakes her head in disbelieve* Nicole, you're totally missing my point. i know that SHE SEES HERSELF. but then you say "for WHAT SHE REALLY IS" it sounds like your agreeing with her. it is written as a statement not an opinion. you don't write that she thinks she is a wh***, your write that she is one. Thats the point i'm trying to make. i'm not attacking you, i'm just saying that the way it is written suggests that that is what she is. xmollyxx

I see we're both fighting losing battles here. I see where you're coming from, now and I understand why it would be suggestive. Nevertheless, I didn't intend to make it appear that way. Maybe I chose the wrong wording, whatever. But it was originally supposed to be her realizing the consequences of her actions and what they were making her into. As I've taken a look at that portion of the poem through your eyes, I hope you can see where I'm coming from too.

More thank you's to annmarie and Christina :-) Thanks a lot, girls. It's really appreciated!

You know what Nicole, i want to apologise. it doesn't deserve a 1. its actually quite a good poem but the end just totally ruined it for me and the title makes me cringe. i guess i was in one of my feminist me against the world moods when i wrote the first post. anyways i obviously judged you too quickly and i think your poem "little lost girl" is absolutely brilliant and i've voted and commented on it. xmollyxx

That's really good of you. I guess I owe you an apology for being a hard-head too. Thank you lots for the comment :)
