Midlife Crisis Man Comments

I find it perpetually disheartening that everyone — including men — fail to recognize misandry when they encounter it. Most people are not even familiar with the word 'misandry', but I doubt you can find anyone over the age of 16 that cannot define 'misogyny' for you. In response to this poem a male commenter says, If ever we meet in years to come and I look this way to you. Please, smack me about a little. I'll need the wake up call. Yikes! I mean, really! Please take a moment to imagine the response we'd see if a man were to post a similar poem only regarding a female subject. sigh

Humorous but highly insightful and perceptive too. A strong poem. 10 from little old me. Warm regards, Gina.
