N,

Of the 11 people who have commented, only 3 have discussed the poem's potential misogyny and none of those 3 said they were offended. As for "my entire style is seen as an archaism that is not needed", yes many have questioned the outdated language of this particular poem. But it seems to me a matter of observable fact that the style here is archaic. If this is the way you always write, and not just a stylistic exercise for one poem, then the majority of poets will probably reject it. It is up to you whether you listen to those voices or go your own lonely way.

Edit: I'm still unsure which is the case. In your introduction you seemed to suggest the language was a stylistic exercise, somehow fitting in with your fantasy world setting. But then later you also suggest a complete rejection of "modern" language, and even topics, in poetry.
