    I love how the entire poem she referred to them as boys, at the end when the guy is actually doing the mature and right thing, she refers to him as a man

    It is actually a reflection of herself having matured enough to not get fazed about these things. She is mature now, and has now become unfazed to the point that she does not refer to the man as a boy because she is fazed by what he has done.

    I love the brutality in this poem and the way it mirrors how small we will make ourselves so men can fill the room. They are both exaggerated and it reminds me that there are others options than being "a good little girl".

    actually, she was talking about the boy(s) who toyed with her and tried to shape her in their image. if you got to the end she said she had a great time with the man who told her who he was (instead of try to push his standard of beauty onto her).

    There is a strong feminist thread in here -- and it's a great kind of feminism that uplifts human agency, is imaginative. This poem is speaking to my condition, too, and the ways I wait for others to affirm me rather than investing in myself. Some people... well, I don't even need to say it because Olivia already has.
