Sexist, Sexist, Sexist

I just finished reading a new book Which peers deep into human brains, Methodically examining each sex To see what is and isn’t the same, And while men and women are much alike, I was fascinated by the difference, And how this could affect our world-views, For example, I’m going to begin— Sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! You’re a sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! But I’m talking about medical sci— SEXIST!!! Okay…so the other day I saw a report About how hormones affect the mind, Comparing estrogen and testosterone, And both their effects over time. Now we’ve known from the beginning That these two do different things, But it’s amazing looking at brains To see their influence on thinking— Sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! You’re a sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! But this stuff is well known. Ask anyone who’s had gender reassign— SEXIST!!! Fine…so the other night on cable There was this great documentary, About hold cold, ice age conditions Changed and shaped our bodies. Hey had a fascinating discussion About how the musculature of males Played a big role in mate selection, And the food that was avail— Sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! You’re a sexist. Sexist! SEXIST!!! Oh, shut the hell up you shrill, whining harpies! Reality doesn’t care about your god-damn chants and propaganda. We’re like any other sexually dimorphic species, so use you damn reason for once and stop screaming like petulant children! (Stunned silence) Uhm, so, like…would you wanna maybe go do something later? (More stunned silence) Unbelievable… What? We can go back to my place. I’ll put the cats in their cages and we’ll have the whole studio apartment to ourselv— (Sound of running) Hey?! Come back! SEXIST!!!
