Swift is appealing to human compassion, and wants to show those who are against helping the needy how unreasonable they are being. Everyone has been or will be in need of assistance at…

hypocrisy and gender discrimination has changed little over the years, despite what people may think.

Notwithstanding Swift’s intentions in “The Lady’s Dressing Room,” Lady Mary Wortley Montagu two years later penned “The Reasons that Induced Dr. S to Write a Poem Called the Lady’s Dressing Room,” which is a cutting and self-aggrandizing poem detailing a doctor’s encounter with a prostitute, and his failure to perform sexually: “The Reverend Lover with surprise/ Peeps in her bubbies, and her eyes,/ And kisses both, and tries–and tries./ The Evening in this hellish play,/ Beside his guineas…
