Male Chauvinism Alive and Well

Male Chauvinism Alive and Well

By  Elton Camp

Though it’s unquestionably very wrong 
To a lower life they say women belong

Their intelligence is far less then men
Was so from when humans did begin

Equal treatment they need not expect
Nor to be accorded the usual respect

Some men privately women will stalk
Others go public with senseless talk

Many men with this viewpoint agree
From support of such arrogance we see

Who are some men who feel this way?
Judge for yourself by things they say

There’s a public statement that I saw 
From the lips of Mister Rush Limbaugh

A women’s history museum was proposed
He said that the nation has plenty of those

Then as examples of such, he boldly calls
Though we just call them shopping malls

To woman’s worth and dignity is he deaf?
You can evaluate his words for yourself
