Manly Stew for the Sexist Soul
Introducing a brand new “beef” stew!
Hey, sexists! And those who don’t realize they are!
are you sick of the typical ramen condensed in a cup?
Then try Manly Stew for the Sexist Soul.
Ingredients include ostensibly “macho man” meat,
A scoop of “grow a pair,”
Two cups of “you should smile more,”
And a liter of “be a man—”
Also made to attract women who’ve repeatedly said, “I’m not interested!”
But careful, that girl who you’ve repeatedly asked out and tried to “get alone” at that frat party’s lips may say no, but her eyes say “yes,”
Especially if she’s wearing a skimpy dress!
Here, eat it up, it’ll put hair on your chest.
So, serve yourself up some manly stew,
No one has the right to say “no” to you!
Women won’t be able to compete
Because they’re not fast on their feet.
Try to scratch their itch,
And all they’ll do is bitch!
If you do something for me, I’ll do something for you,
But first, let the poor guy finish his manly stew!
Don’t you want to see what a real man can do?
Inspired by the modern-day Neanderthals, people who say “me, man. You, woman”
and those who say that the woman’s place is in the kitchen.
Serves as a big bowl of fuck you, to the model misogynist males who still call women “broads,”
especially that fake account I’m not even friends with on Facebook who bashed the accomplished AOC. Dedicated to the my hard-working mama and the Notorious RBG—
both of whom struggled to find jobs on the basis of sex.
A poem can’t change a person, but it sure as hell can make a mean stew. And I mean, “mean—”
I mean I’m sorry I’m not sorry, but did that manly stew make you ignorant? Someone must have been hungry for superiority and arrogance!
Well, I guess you should have stuck with ramen.
