Look at how far the unisexuals must go to mimic just a fraction of our power!

Same but with roles swapped

Right, I suspect this is voicing a much older consensus about effective storytelling and good art:

If you want to send a message, use Western Union. — Frank Capra (director of message-heavy films like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life)

Given his filmography, it’s pretty clear Capra didn’t mean that politics should be avoided when telling a story, just that the story should come first. The idea is that any “message” a writer might convey will naturally be embedded in the stories they tell, whereas writers who attempt to construct a story around a particular message tend to fail at delivering either.

Hmm, sounds like one big project to me, and it appears to be going well. Keep up the good work.

Most of them were wait staff too, there or elsewhere, so they’ve seen plenty.
