Nice one DMB. The only flaw in that song is the generalisation - that feminists do not have a sense of humour ? The archetypical one doesn't, so the song works, but Isabel Allende ?
Loved the humour. Honorary bloke. (A bit too strong on the feminism though I'd agree; She mentioned her daugher seeing feminism as passe, but that was her agenda for the talk, and the -real- examples were all women - unbalance in response to unbalance. She addressed the sexless angle very well with wit I thought - her previous husband, no shortage of men, beauty tips from Sophia Loren, etc) Ian On Jan 5, 2008 6:16 PM, david buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Marsha, Ian and all Feminists: > > A beautiful young jazz singer/comedian named Nellie McKay wrote an ironic > song about feminism.
