Ulysse’s review of We Should All Be Feminists > Likes and Comments

Your hair is shaped like a pom-pom!!

Such madness, my friend. I had a ridiculously fun time reading this.

For what it's worth, my father arm wrestled with me on a regular basis, and I ended up working part-time, in college, in a gym and I pinned down quite a few "worthy" opponents along the way. My dad said my lips "were trouble," so he taught me how to kick ass. (I wish I had some of that upper body strength now. Sheesh, I feel like I can barely open a jar of pickles these days).

This was fabulous. Thank you. Don't ever stop!

My hair is like a Pom-pom because I am poetry’s cheerleader 😊

Woo-hoo!! Keep cheering!

Poetry Cheerleader!!!! omg perfect, Ulysse :D haha!
Let's hear the cheer that you chant while bopping your pom-pom hair :) (has to be short, sweet, and catchy! ;) )

Cheering is what I do best :-)

This is what I try to do at least once a week, Polly, especially the pom-pom part :-)

Ahhhh, I see :)

Ulysse, your review reminded me of meeting my future/still wife. I discovered that she was a radical feminist and I had always read about her group and all the loathing they received in the media. I had already approved of what they were doing. And getting to know her, I realised quickly that we wanted to overthrow the same bastards from power for perverting humanity in a multiplicity of ways. Problem is, the bastards are still going. So, how did that happen?

Hi Nick, I really don’t know how to answer your rhetorical question. I guess bastards are better at gaining and holding onto power. I mean, that’s all they have going for them, really. Tiny little dicks and immense egos.

I'm just conferring that we hate bastards. Especially in their abuse of power.

AND, I guess it was romantic to hate the same kind of people.

You and your wife had a funny notion of what romance is, Nick: a mutual hatred of bastards :-))

I so enjoyed this 🌷

Thanks for the tulip, Jennifer, I love tulips :-)

Any poem with a wiener/either rhyme scheme deserves a huzzah. Very clever. And humorous. And most of all TRUE. This country is now being run by a bunch of dicks and we could use some inner wee-wee help in a big way.

Here's to your inner Queen of Sheba and her no-nonsense attitude, Ulysse. Love it!

I don't think I've used the word wiener since I was in fifth grade, Ken. It suddenly came out of a drawer from the darkest corners of my mind's attic. Now I'm glad I wipped it out to excoriate the sausage party our world has become.

Oh, yay! A touch of love 😊

I don't know what I'd do without my Sheba
It's thanks to her that I'm a true man and a diva ;-)

Excellent! BTW: When I pronounce either it rhymes with whiner rather than wiener but it still works! 👌💪😉

Thank you friend Jeroen!

Isn't this how we should view the sexes: same word, different pronunciation?

This is not the first time you read a feminist book in the spring. This was the case last year too. Just a coincidence, Ulysse? 😉

Good eye, Noam! Probably not a coincidence. Wonder what that says about me 😅

... or about the spring!😄

Beautiful review, Ulysse!

Thank you, Maricarmen, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :-)

Spring is in the air indeed, Noam!

Ulysse, I like the image of Solomon being told to "STFU" while the Queen of Sheba runs the show from somewhere behind the ribs. If feminism looks like this — a little self-mockery, a little sceptre discipline, and a lot more listening — I’d say we’re headed in the right direction. Hail to the pom pom hair!
