[MD] Evolution toward Womanity

[ian glendinning]

I got the irony DMB, you even kindly provided an introductory
paragraph to make sure I did, and I did enjoy it ... I said "nice
one".

Perhaps it works better in performance ... spelled out in words it
just repeats the (ironic) message too unsubtly for my taste. (PS but I
liked it.)

See, she's making fun of the people who fail to see the horrors of patriarchy. She's making fun of people who THINK feminists have no sense of humour. I think its brilliant and hilarious.

The parenthetical words are sung in a male voice and juxtapose McKay's own delicate, playful tones. She's an excellent piano player, but she uses a ukulele for this one. It is called "Mother Of Pearl".
