Reading this felt like standing in a room full of people laughing at a joke I didn't find funny. I definitely get what Pope is doing, but I could never get past the implications of the title. It was ironic, though, and potentially fun. Maybe a reread would allow me to read it more as he intended, instead of how the title and recent world issues shape this (though rape is not a recent issue, so I do still wonder at Pope's choice of title if he truly meant to satirize physical beauty instead of making fun of rape victims, which was what it felt like given the title). IDK, my feminist self was just not comfy reading this. Not to mention the focus of the satire was on the woman's extreme reaction instead of the creepy dude and why he would plot to cut off this woman's hair without permission? Which feels just a touch too problematic to me.
