your seemingly shallow beauty
has shaken the world
ceasing fury in its tracks
.
people have witnessed those who were thought to have been faithful
fall at the foot of heaven
.

you needed to be something more substantial
to be on the back of those who were cursed
greed gave up
.
they don’t have enough strength to endure
the salt of the forest
look again and it’s already a salt merchant

You said you didn’t understand. So try to: The people in the group who are females saw your like and they took a look at your work, to see who was advertising on Steven’s blog. When they read your work they decided en masse you are a sexist creep. You tried to tell them how much you loved and respected women but you didn’t actually show them any. You failed to move them with your feigned sincerity. They tried to see you as an old man who just doesn’t get it, but that’s part of the problem. Old men who don’t get it. You don’t care about what they think or how they feel. You might say you do, but you don’t show it. You were asked not to “like” Steven because we do not want women thinking we think you’re “cool” because you’re not. You have a lot of learning to do in both writing and in respect for others. This is your hard lesson, but it’s yours. We are not the problem due to being impolite or lacking classiness as you told Steven. We object to superficiality and your arrogance. We welcome readers, but we don’t keep followers as we remove them often. You can not rob us of our virtue by pressing down on us. You enhance it. I hope you have removed your likes or that you will finally just shut the fuck up now.
