This does a great job of illustrating the frustration of being a
designated baddie. If I can take a stab at it, you are saying
something like racial profiling is to people of color as politically
correct feminism is to males?
Hmmm. Using that as an image, it might be possible to do some image
jiu-jitsu on people who refuse to examine their premises. You're
welcome to use this, though I might also.

resp:3 Well, making them angry is almost the point-- they hurt you--
you hurt 'em back, y'know?
resp:4 That's half of it-- the idea that modern feminism tends to
stereotype males-- and even females, too. You wouldn't believe how
some particular tenets really piss some women off.
But the other half is just what it reads on the surface: a frustrating
retaliation. I've been so conditioned to please the women in my life
that radical feminazi rant enflames me. My demons in that direction
rage hard enough that some overgeneralistic crap like that is enough to
summon them.

man, I have missed out on quite a bit around here! while the discussion sounds
like it's come to a head; I thought I might just add that I know *exactly*
how Jon feels.(lot of stories that really demonstate why "nice guys always
finish last"). But I like how "visually" your poem breaks out of the "norm",
and challenges us to chase both the new *structure* as well as your agnst @
an obviously disturbing topic :). I also like how you grouped your ideas, kept
things nice and tidy for me...but that's probably cos I know where you're
coming from.
