I think there is always an element of disappointment to be taken into account in all the situations listed there. Life is never what you imagine or hope for it to be. I think setbacks are meant to be taken as life lessons and corrected.

Superb! Excellent!! There are so many facets that we men will hardly think of. I loved the line 'I don't need to be cleansed of the woman in me'. A very assertive and proud statement of being a woman.

It's a lovely poem. I like the last two lines the best. But the Princess Syndrome (my words) should have disappeared in the '50s-'60s, (again, IMHO), but I speak of the U.S.  Many girls now, while recognizing their femininity, are comfortable being equals to and with their male counterparts. And what happens because of this is that the boys grow up seeing and accepting girls in roles equal their their own, which of course, counters the experiences voiced in the poem. Not always, not yet, but I see it. Thank you. A powerful poem.

Mothers should teach their daughters that although they are a Princess, they are also a woman. An equal to any man be it brother lover boss or the man down the street. No means no in every relationship. Every woman is just as human as any male. Being female does not mean being a lesser being.

A very strong, powerful poem, I find this to be.

Quite touching, I hope such incidents are rare though. A mother no doubt worries over her daughters future. I did note here in UK that the girls now drink more than the boys. I think they are becoming more worldly.
