The Lyrics
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist
A radical in battle with the sexist and misogynist
Revolution, not reform, will make our cause victorious
And women who might disagree, to us are quite traitor-ious
Through Marxist class analysis my view is sharp and critical
The penis is a weapon, and the personal political
That women are oppressed, a starting premise undeniable
My evidence statistical is never falsifiable
Foucault tells me biology is socially constructible
Our gender roles insidious and wholly ineluctable
And yet from iv'ry tower this strait jacket is transcendible
And so I can declaim how our coercion may be endable
Eradicate all words and thoughts and photos pornographical
Create a womyn's English that is not so orthographical
Because I'm philosophic'ly linguistic'ly determinist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!
The marketplace and government are crudely patriarchical
The scientific method masculine and hierarchical
And though I find these institutions obsolete and risible
I protest my exclusion by a ceiling that's invisible
Harassed and subjugated by environment hostility
In ev'ry crevice seeing gender bias and inequity
An unrelenting anti-white-male-privilege polemicist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!
Stridently I preach of womyn's power and victimology
The rapist culture integral to every man's psychology
To sleep with the oppressor is to uphold the tyrannical
Enlightened womyn stick to sex that's strictly lesbianical
Raising children, housework, and home-schooling are deplorable
Women who enjoy them I call brainwashed and ignorable
Towards reconciliation I'm an unremitting pessimist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!
A radical in battle with the sexist and misogynist
Revolution, not reform, will make our cause victorious
And women who might disagree, to us are quite traitor-ious
Through Marxist class analysis my view is sharp and critical
The penis is a weapon, and the personal political
That women are oppressed, a starting premise undeniable
My evidence statistical is never falsifiable
Foucault tells me biology is socially constructible
Our gender roles insidious and wholly ineluctable
And yet from iv'ry tower this strait jacket is transcendible
And so I can declaim how our coercion may be endable
Eradicate all words and thoughts and photos pornographical
Create a womyn's English that is not so orthographical
Because I'm philosophic'ly linguistic'ly determinist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!
The marketplace and government are crudely patriarchical
The scientific method masculine and hierarchical
And though I find these institutions obsolete and risible
I protest my exclusion by a ceiling that's invisible
Harassed and subjugated by environment hostility
In ev'ry crevice seeing gender bias and inequity
An unrelenting anti-white-male-privilege polemicist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!
Stridently I preach of womyn's power and victimology
The rapist culture integral to every man's psychology

Towards reconciliation I'm an unremitting pessimist
I am the very model of a modern gender feminist!

Top marks just for "lesbianical".
A song about feminazi

Pure genuis. Not only is that song one of the hardest ever to parody, but the parody is dead on (nasty flashbacks from poli-science classes...)
nicely done...looking forward to reading more of your work
cool
Those 5-5-5s will have to be adjusted down to 4-4-4 for a womyn's pay scale. ;-)
Great stuff... loved "traitor-ious" :)
Amazing parody. You have the pacing pretty much dead on, as well as the tongue twisting paradoxes in the original. This is the best of all the parodies here by far.
