Hi Ainaechoiriel,
I do not understand what the problem is.
Why is it a difference to be in
Poetry/Men or in Men/Poetry ?

I see no difference concerning the Award.
You surely will find appropriate Award titles :-)

For me the only difference is that Poetry
collects all poetry which for me is more important
than to find poems about men in Men.

But this my personal feeling.
This is no point dear to me,
I readily accept also to find poems in the category Men ;-)
Yet I would have thought it an improvement
if poems were collected in their own category.
But since you see it as a worsening
I try to understand your reasoning.
Maybe I simply cannot understand
because our minds work differently.

Best wishes Elanor
