On Politically Incorrect Chaiku Poetry

Written by: sonny

Some supercilious woman reviewer chided the site's anonymous champion of chaiku poetry for using the word 'men' to all refer to all of mankind, including women. Does this mean we must revise our familiar maxims and proverbs to accommodate this scurrilous feminist propaganda? Should it now be: "He or she who laughs last, laughs best"? Should John Donne (1571-1631) have rewritten his famous poem to read: "No man or woman is an island… Any man's or woman's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind and womankind…"?
