Based upon some interest from yesterday I post something from the same source without further comment (I added the picture because everyone likes a picture).
It is, once again, a clearly feminist perspective (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) but a little less confronting than yesterday’s offering I think.
It came to me with no title but ‘Reflection’ seems suitable ….

Look. Don’t stare
I’m not invisible
But I don’t care
To be an invention
Of desire
Of thoughts that conspire
To recreate
Denigrate
I am not an image
From a magazine
To be seen
As paper thin
Nothing within
For I am more than skin
Deep.
So don’t peep
This is not perfection
Nor rejection
So much unknown
Just look
At me
So that you might see
More than your own
Reflection

It makes me think of projection, a defense mechanism where you project your own faults onto someone else! 😮 Very deep!!

I took it to be about the idea of being created by someone else’s desires rather than the reality of the actual person. I think it makes more sense to me than the other one, but I may have it all wrong.

Oh, that makes sense, too! Well, good art is subjective in its interpretations!

So is bad art. That is sometimes the problem.

I never liked the leers or the whistles but it was the molestations that were the real invasions … grabbing a strangers body parts is really not on!
