This isn't meant as a comment on the opposite gender--in fact, I could say it uses the term "men" in the sense of "human"--but I've always liked the feeling in it. Happy Shakespeare Day!

"Sigh No More, Ladies..."
(From "Much Ado about Nothing")

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey, nonny, nonny.

W. Shakespeare

ETA: But all must read The Tragedic Comical Historie of Buffy the Slayer of the Vampyres from the incomparable fresne!
