I wouldn't have thought writers would mistake a specific character as being a generalization. The male character doesn't represent all men any more than the child represents the experience of all women. In this case, the poem is shocking but very specific, and not at all a generalization or stereotyping. I would never mistake it as representing all men, nor do I really think Charmz needs to apologize, though it is gracious of her to do so. It's a difficult subject to deal with....but this is a horror that happens all too often and a writer has the right to explore it in a literary setting.
