I guess I have to admit that women can get pretty clever with their male-bashing songs. This one is so good, I wish I could feel comfortable singing along. It really is difficult nowadays, for us "enlightened" guys to go to concerts with women of the nineties. Inevitably, there's a male-bashing song, and we're expected to sit and smile politely while we're being verbally castrated. It really is difficult to know how to behave in such situations. Oh, they always say, "We don't mean YOU, Joe," but they sure do seem to enjoy watching me squirm. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' From: jayohjo Date: 19 Jan 01 - 11:42 AM Couldn't resist this thread - great song, and indeed we don't - except for the obvious...;) (just kidding, for my nice right-on absolute-sweetheart male friends!) jayohjo XX |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' From: Dave the Gnome Date: 19 Jan 01 - 11:45 AM I must admit that as a male my 'knee-jerk' reaction to the title of this thread was 'uh-oh, another piece of reverse-sexist male-bashing'. Having read the words I have re-evaluated. It is a badly written piece of reverse-sexist male-bashing. Come on Girls! I know you can do better than that. It is not even funny. Try some of Jo Brands stuff to get us realy squirming! BTW - I don't need men either. Never been emotionaly involved with one, never slept with one, wouldn't even consider marrying one - I dunno what you wimmin see in us and which of us is the daftest;-) Dave the about to be verbally castrated Gnome |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' From: GUEST,Ferrara Date: 19 Jan 01 - 01:53 PM I believe that Malvina wrote this with the wives of a group of union members who had an organizational meeting (regarding a strike?) and didn't include their wives. Men only. As I hear it, she had the enthusiastic cooperation and suggestions of the women in the group, who were waiting for the men to finish their meeting. ... Could be "fakelore," of course.... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' From: Mrrzy Date: 19 Jan 01 - 02:01 PM Hey, there is no such thing as "reverse sexism" - it's just plain sexism, whether anti male, anti female, anti gay, or what have you. Kinda like it isn't "reverse" discrimination just because it's against the dominant race... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' From: Dave the Gnome Date: 19 Jan 01 - 02:05 PM "it isn't "reverse" discrimination just because it's against the dominant race... "??? I agree but try telling that to the popular press! DtG |
