Hi!
I enjoyed reading about this topic, but I was feeling kind of funny -- I always thought this song was written and sung in an ironic spirit -- like there's lots of guys out there like this, and here's the situation that can happen...

I never would have connected Gordon with chauvinism, but since he sees it in his younger self, I guess it was true. It just shows that no matter how sensitive someone can be to others' feelings in the big picture, sometimes face-to-face we're pretty dumb...
