Unless, Of course...Some 'B's and 'C's Are Men

They've begun to remove the 'N' word.
From Tom Sawyer.
And other Mark Twain books.

It's the strain of being politically correct.
Although the 'B's and 'C's describing women,
Seems to no one to offend.

Unless,
Of course...
Some 'B's and 'C's are men.
Who appear to enjoy,
A defensiveness that employs...
Everyone's decision,
To feel inadequate AND a self consciousness...
To over dramatize and protect.
