Women are Cool

Even those things about women
That don't seem to be wonderful
Are at least fascinating

Women are like regular people
With force fields sparkling around them
Making them seem magical

Women's sexuality is serious
Childbirth
Breastfeeding
Menstruation
Multiple orgasms
Unlike men, who are silly

Men's sexuality doesn't matter
It is of no consequence
It takes care of itself
Men are stuck at the back of the line
Sent to the back of the bus of life

It must be nice to find a woman
Who doesn't hate men
They must exist, I imagine
The fascination must go both ways
Sometimes

It's a piteous thing to hide oneself
For fear of a bad effect on others
Oh, to feel like a human being
Not to be ridiculous
To sit with the cool kids for once
