Full of stereotypes, some understanding lines (by man’s oppression cursed) but mostly women are false, fickle and care only for power and pleasure. And that is not a feminist reading, that's what the poem says, I do not care if Pope says the woman he is dedicating the poem to is an exception, he still insulted the whole of the sex.
