It must resonate differently because I don't get how you see that in those five particular lines. A little inkblot, for me. Locker room talk, ok, ok, but grab a bite to eat?? I was supposed to pick up on that? Anyway, sure, like Andrew, I'm willing to be convinced of her talent. But if I remain wrong and still don't like her, it's certainly not because she's a woman.
*And I know that there are all kinds of things that I'm not necessarily tuned in to, Julie. Blind spots when it comes to gender I'm sure is one of them. But I don't see that particular poem (and other examples) as doing much.
