That turns and changes like his draughty seas?
Or is there none, most popular of men,
But when they mock us, that we mock again?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for 30 days because they get infections.... Males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.”
