Sexual Experiment

Men have studied me like a lab rat. They don’t see me, not for who I really am. They just observe me like I exist in a Petri dish. They make me into a collection of body parts that can be manipulated and controlled. I am an experiment in their ability to use women. To them, I have no substance, nothing lying underneath my skin except for the secrets.



With a critiquing microscope, they look at every tiny cell knowing that if they place just a bit too much pressure on me, I will crack. But that does not deter them for lying on top of me...breaking my heart, crushing my ego.



When they are done, they treat me like I am a bacteria. They no longer want anything to do with me. They say I’m infected with the disease of promiscuity. But they don’t realize they are the ones that contaminated me. They spread the sex virus. We women are just the ones that have the moldy reputation because of it.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Please note this is not at all an attack at men in general but at the select few that use women as sex objects.

In reponse to the above critique on...

Firstly, I will say this piece was NOT written from personal experience. I am writing in the voice of the millions of girls that feel this way. Additionally, I never said ALL men are like this. I just said the ones that the “character” came into contact with.

I have to disagree however on your implied statement that men are not completely to blame because woman dress seductively. I like to dress sexy (tastefully of course) but even a little skin makes men think I am easy. This is a result of just the general degradation of our society, not the fault of either sex. I blame the media and the portrayal of sex on television and film which I have to say came from male producers and directors.

But you are absolutely right that many men do not treat women this way. Maybe even the majority. But a few bad apples spoil the bunch, right?

In any case, I will add a note explaining my motives for writing the piece.

Why have you generalized men in your poem? That is a sexist remark on your part, this being done while you are ridiculing them for sexist behavior. It's not all men doing this, it is only the ones you are choosing to associate with or the ones you are attracting to you, perhaps by your means of dressing or conduct. Those are the ones that are doing this to you, not all men.

A note from author explaining a possibly different meaning would be a good idea in order to prevent further criticism from other insightful readers.
