Raven hair tucked back
No flyaway strands
Lips painted nude
Kohl-lined eyes
cheeks sun-kissed
bloom
And her dress
the fall
accentuated the highs
suppressed the lows
exuded confidence
discreet
Rain-drops on her lobes
sparkled, as she traipsed
the crescent moon winked
on her décolletage, as she sighed
Quiet contentment
sensuous
How could she be real?
They busied themselves to find the flaws
And when they failed
Disheartened –
they christened her
‘Witch’

From the last stanza of the poem (and as per the thoughts of those who are the faceless “they”), it seems to me that witches are actually the ones without fault.
Witch or no witch, who cares? A woman’s confidence is her armour. Opinions of misogynists don’t matter, nor should they.

Its good to know how you feel about confident women. Sadly, many men and women do not feel the same – their insecurity makes them label confident women wrongly. You’re right – ‘opinions of misogynists don’t matter!’

Well, for me, an inspirational woman is one who decides to dump the opinions of such misogynists in the trash can and chooses to achieve success and fly above such mortals. Confidence is a key ingredient, no doubt.
Glad to know that you agree on the fact that opinions of misogynists don’t matter. The women need to realize this. Hopefully they will in near future.

It saddens me that we’re so quick to pull others down, particularly when other women do it to each other.
