Billy Joel on the Onion (ICYMI) The other day when I was bored I browsed the archive of The Onion and had another chuckle at this dandy.

“Well, Mateys,” he said, “heave to. Rum for all.” The pirates grabbed their bottles, and as they drank they began to sing and laugh and shout at each other.

And in their daily lives, girls and women are pushed to conform to fairly narrow templates of behavior as demure or delicate.

They ended up angry at each other.
