Taught to listen, or chooses to ignore?
Malicious or unfortunately unaware?
Very visual poem, you say so much using so little and it is sad to think there is even a question debating whether the other person might not be aware of the harm they cause.
There are malicious people, but there are also those who are unaware because they were raised by this culture. I think it became evident recently with how many guys had no problems to objectify and use others for their pleasure because they were in a position of power and did not realise the harm it can do to the victim.
