    I'm not sure what universe she has been living in but the issues she addresses have always been here, from the start. Somehow she is going on about it as if it is something new, people have a way of conveniently forgetting that the accepted were not always accepted, that a lot of them were at first rejected and that all forms of "art" are usually popularity contests.

    All one has to do is to look at online poetry sites etc and you will see that it is always the same group of people getting published. I would not say that Capitalism is the problem (as it has always been with us) it is Cultural Marxism that is more dangerous, this desire for everyone under the sun to be equal is evil.
