Too early in the morning for this

Joanna Russ on Edmund Cooper's Gender Genocide (1972):

...When Rura goes out on another mission, and again can't fire her gun, she is gang-raped... taken to MacDiarmid, claimed by him to replace his dead wife, ordered to be quiet (some authors seem to think this is standard wooing procedure), slapped, and told: "You have entered a man's world. You have much to learn" (p.84).

From the most offensive song on top 40 radio (2007, but inexplicably playing on the radio all this week):

Shush girl, shut your lips
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips
