day 21. gender/Our Lost Jungle


                         Gender Switch

We laugh at Curtis and Lemmon in "Some Like it Hot"
because they pretend to be women when they’re not.
Robin Williams as “Mrs. Doubtfire”, Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie
did a great job, made us laugh, I’m sure you’d agree
but women as men don’t seem as hilarious.
Rather they seem just a tad nefarious.
Are we uncomfortable with the switch of gals to guys,
and if so, just what from that should we surmise?
