"The World's mad Business now is o'er, And I resent these Pranks no more. I to such Blockheads set my Wit! I damn such Fools! -- Go, go, you're bit."

Jove's speech in "The Day of Judgment" (1732) by Jonathan Swift

"The very notion that anything human is even worth damning is dismissed as ridiculous by this alarmingly cavalier Jove who simply refuses to take either the vicious or the so-called virtuous doings of the human race seriously. By the end of the poem, we finally know that the real 'horror' of the speaker's vision is not the graves giving up their dead, nor the terrible fireworks of Jove's arrival, but rather the Almighty's refusal to make any distinctions, even to go through with the Day of Judgement at all. This is an event, we should remember, on which Christian ideas of salvation depend. . ." --Richard Rodino

Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, ‘You’re crooked. You’ve always been crooked and you’ll continue to be crooked. But look at me! Look at me!’ said the straight tree. He said, ‘I’m tall and I’m straight.’ And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, ‘Cut all the straight trees.’ And that crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.

Bright girl, dead town Walking tall but blown around The secret chainmail gown of your father’s blessing Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around I still see you keeping those dough boys guessing

From the Wikipedia entry on Corinna, a female poet in ancient Greece (c. 6th century BC): 

"Pausanias says she won a poetry competition against Pindar in honour of which she had a monument erected to her. According to his opinion, her success was probably chiefly due to her beauty and her use of the local Boeotian dialect, as opposed to the Doric of Pindar's poems. Aelian said she defeated Pindar five times, and in response to these defeats, Pindar called her a sow."

Look, men are still being the same kind of assholes that they were back in ancient Greece. YAY PROGRESS
