The Man Song (since it’s still “gender day”)
Starting with the appropriate links:
 Sean Morey (comedian)
See it on YouTube.
The Man Song
Ladies and gentleman, The Man Song!
He’s the man. He’s the man.
I don’t take no crap from anybody else…
but you
I wear the pants around here…
when I finish with your laundry
Cos I’m a g
uy you don’t wanna fight…
when I say “jump”, you say “yeah right”
Cos I’m the man of this house…
until you get home
He’s the man. He’s the man.
When I say goes around here…
right out the window
But I don’t wanna hear a lot of whining…
so I’ll shut up
The sooner you learn who’s boss around here…
the sooner you can give me my orders, dear
Cos I’m head honcho around here…
but it’s all in my head
He’s the man. He’s the man.
And I can have sex anytime…
that you want
Cos I’m a man who has needs…
but they’re not that important
And don’t expect any flowers from me…
cos if I’m not mistaken, you prefer jewelry
I’m the king of my castle…
when you’re not around
He’s the man. He’s the man.
And I’ll drink and watch sports…
whenever I wanna get in trouble
And I’ll come home, when I’m good and ready…
to sleep on the couch
Cos a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…
and I’m gonna do what you tell me to
Because I’m top dog around here…
but I’ve been neutered
He’s the man. He’s the man!
You the man!

MzEllen’s Law
- female circumcision
- honor killings
- forced arranged marriages
- beheadings for being raped.
- being stoned to death for pre-marital intercourse.
- being killed by your father for dating the wrong boy
- being stabbed by your brother for going to a dance club
I want you to think a bit harder about those things.
Again, MzEllen’s Law (if it’s out there someplace else, let me know!)
“As an internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Islam or Muslims approaches one.â€
From Wiki:
The concept appears to have entered the public consciousness more broadly, as well. In 2005, the aphorism was the subject of a question in the British television quiz show University Challenge. By 2007, The Economist had declared that “a good rule in most discussions is that the first person to call the other a Nazi automatically loses the argument.†And in October 2007, the “Last Page†columnist in The Smithsonian stated that when an adversary uses an inappropriate Hitler or Nazi comparison, “you have only to say ‘Godwin’s Law’ and a trapdoor falls open, plunging your rival into a pool of hungry crocodiles.â€
