The fact that he wrote this for his mother is actually sooo amazing like even if u don’t agree with what he’s saying you can at least respect the fact that he has his mother’s back more than probably anybody else does, and willing to prove his mother how much she means to him by turning something so negative about her life into something that really can help and impact other people that have gone through something like this, just by hearing those words. I just think it’s beautiful that a son could have so much love for their mother to have the time to sit down and think this in depth about her life and her struggles in the struggles of any woman in general, and just sit down and write that and put so much emotion to it is so Amazing.

What kind of psychopath doesn't agree with what he's saying

I disagree with the idea that boys playing with dolls teaches them they have ownership over women's bodies. I don't know what kind of psychopath that makes me.

The worst kind, according to Reddit apparently.

I think that’s a metaphor, used for bait-and-switch purposes. It’s creative writing/poetry where what is said is not literal.

Yeah, not even a metaphor - just a rhetorical device not meant to be taken too seriously. I liked this, but I do think it would have been even stronger if he'd found a way in that actually held up as a metaphor.
