Regender via As Above
boynton regendered produced this nice translation *
Sir Arlene Conan Dorothy loses her wicket for 2 runs
Cricket Match between Actresses and Authors at Lady's Cricket Ground, 1905.
I tried to think of a macho song to reverse, but for some reason could not get past Danielle Boone was a Woman
From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Danielle
To the heel of her rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est woman
The frontier ever knew!

Update: this one's for FX:

Also of interest - "Dame" wasn't recognised as a gender specific word, so wasn't reversed - still the last line is good.

GOing nuts, how do you find these items??
Given rapper Snoop Dogg is such a dumb homophobe/mysogenist, I thought he'd make an interesting subject. Highlights:
(WARNING: contains explicit, if indecipherable, language.)
---------------------
"Groupie"
He was just a groupie (He just a groupie)
He was just a groupie (All he wanted was Snoopy)
...
[Verse 1: Tha Dogg Pound (Dat Nigga Daz, Kurupt)]
Beeyatch! (Beeyatch!)
...
Fifteen's humpin, dropped the top, he moaned
countin my dough
....
Niggas got hos but lords in the world
they wanna play wit their minds like little boys
...
Skinny boys come a dime-a-dozen
but I play hos like plenty-leany cos I get greedy
...
hold the key to unlock the door
From long clothes he rolls with gold thangs we ridin for sure
...
You're just a gigolo (you know)
To the heart you're just gigolo (you know)
...
ran into this pretty ass skirt, Mexican-Puerto Rita mixed with a sprinkle of black
So I'ma approach his like dat
and let his know where I ride and reside at
....
[Bridge: Nate Dogg]
Someone wants to score and get laid by the D-O-double G, Hey boy, what's your name? Ya wanna go a couple rounds with me?
I told his Nate Dogg is just the same but he kept screamin out Snoopy
...
He say he was no groupie, coochie lookin juicy
----------------------
etc etc sorry for long post I enjoyed doing that though!

"Masculist debate here - what little of it there is - seems to be mainly about whether Big Sister is empowering to or patronising of young men. Many of the same young men would rather die (metaphorically speaking) than own the title of masculist."
Paul (formerly Pamela) Bone in The Age last Monday.
This opens up some very amusing possibilities ...

Nope not even an imperfect one...
Yep, Rap works pretty well, armaniac.
I think this and Gummo's example shows the potential of this generator, even a seriousness which I ignored.
I just hope Evil P doesn't discover this or we'll never hear the end of masculist debate.

Yeah I don't want to sound reactionary (golden) but it has lots of potential to show the polemicism in much feminist discourse, in the same way it works on mysogenist rappers.

As a jargon-buster yes, but is it still that dominant ideology thang?
A less serious example:
"I'm gonna to wash that woman right outta my hair" sounds a lot nastier than the original to me.
Don't try to patch it up.
Tear it up, tear it up!
Wash her out, dry her out.
Push her out, fly her out.
Cancel her and let her go!
Yeah, brother!
sung by a chorus of men sounds scary - rather than mock-militant?
