I can't agree. It's not about looks, that much is true, and it IS about confidence, but I also definitely see sexuality being the main theme or at least A main theme. "The fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees"? Nope, that's not just confidence.

I think there might be an element of sexuality in confidence, but that's different from it being specifically about sexual power - if that makes sense? It doesn't pretend sexuality doesn't exist, but I wouldn't call it the main theme of the poem. That being said, I read it here for the first time, and I'm no poetry expert.

I see where you're coming from, though. I guess it could be read either way - depending on the general motifs characteristic of Angelou's poetry (which I am not terribly familiar with).
