Philip Larkin presents women throughout both the poems ‘Wild Oats’ and ‘Talking in Bed’ in a superficial manner as he focuses purely on their physical appearance and sexuality rather than their personality. Predominantly in ‘Wild Oats’‚ Larkin reduces both women to stereotypes which highlights his objectifying tone. Examining this poem through a feminist perspective makes it fundamentally clear to see how he focuses on his privileged male perspective throughout leaving the woman’s viewpoint marginalised
