feminism ruins everything, part II: well pardon me

Oh, oh, I have been informed that Semonides' poem "On Women" is just a joke. Oh don't worry, I wasn't informed of this directly to my face - it was just emphasized in passing in the 'last class review' portion of the class. Just jokes. You know I didn't get that because I'm one of those humourless feminists. Of course, slotting women into types by the most stereotyped bad characteristics of various animals is all in such lighthearted jest that normal people can't help but laugh along.

Another bulletin from the ancient world: Sappho liked women.
