Thank you for cheering me up. I'm on a downer with my poetry of late. Haven't written anything substantial in ages. Perhaps I should tackle another STD :) On that note - I'm off to bed lol - night night x

PS Welcome to WOL! I have read one of yours recently in blogs. Didn't comment cos I'm a bit 'comment weary' of late - I go through spells like that. I did enjoy it though and will return to read again.

Thank you Charlie - I think it's a poem for the ladies. For some reason it never goes down well with a male audience ;)

Hi Cynthia
Thanks for your comments on 100 Metres and Us Nolimpics
I had fun with the dialect - I had a strong image in my mind of a scruffy, young, chubby-faced lad trying to talk his way out of trouble with injured innocence.

Thankyou for commenting on my blatant advert for our village fayre, Be Ye There Or Be Ye Square. As everyone here roundabouts knows, I have a dirty habit so I shall be going as a monk.
Did you notice my previous, "Crossroads Motel"? I thought it might appeal to those "of a certain age"!

Fair sex?
Put it down to my youth...brought up as the youngest (of six) by a mother born into the Edwardian age. There was a time when a man held the door for a woman, stood up when joined by a woman, gave up a seat for a woman and doffed his hat upon meeting a woman.....the oil of good manners that lubricated the wheels of society.
"Fair sex" was a merely a generic polite reference to women per se. borrowed from those days.

I'm a fan of your poetry too. Feisty!

I love 'On Not Wearing Purple'. My mum's always quoting 'Warning' at me. It does my head in, so this was a refreshing change.

Loved Her Habitat :) That's a great line:

With wax from bees – cold cream for deceased trees.

I'll never be able to think about polish again without this in my head :D (erm, not that I ever even use it, let alone buy it!)

You asked what the male equivalent was - I answered. I didn't say you had to be defined - not sure why you said that?

Can I ask why you use the term 'fair' in relation to women?

Gender's a social construct anyway, as opposed to the physical characteristics of sex.

Comment is about M.C. Newberry (poet profile)

Original item by M.C. Newberry

I sit corrected. But pardon me if I prefer not to be defined as a "long-time feminist".
From experience the fair sex don't need my help to get what they want on behalf of their
gender.

Hi David - a very warm welcome to WOL. Good to see you've posted a poem on the blogs section already. Giovanni - a really nice light touch to your work.

Comment is about David Subacchi (poet profile)

Original item by David Subacchi

It says long-time, not long-term, and there shouldn't be a gender division in feminism, so the male equivalent is a long-time feminist.

Comment is about M.C. Newberry (poet profile)

Original item by M.C. Newberry

Laura - re. your post on "From Winnie":
I'm curious...what's the male equivalent of "a
long term feminist"? And is it legal? :-)

Hello MC,
Thanks for commenting on "News of the World". I suspect the photo you're referring to was taken at the Wigan WOL. I'd been to a meeting in Manchester and was nobbed up like a circus pony. The profile pic more accurately eflects my usual garb.

Thanks MC - glad you haven't taken the hump. I'm writing one called 'Lifelines' at the moment which is the same title as my favourite of Anthony Emmerson's - but totally different in theme - and quality, no doubt. Perhaps I shall specialise in plagiarising titles ;)
