Men's and Women's role in society.

When I read this, I thought:

"Sexism"

This idea of what makes a woman happy is completely barbaric, and I think that Lehman wants to show the ridiculousness of the average woman. 

When he personifies men as scum of the earth, he also sort of allows readers to see this sort of what women see men as. What society sometimes portrays men as.

I really think the poem is a wake-up call and a satirical poem.

"If I were a Boy"

I really, really love the fact that Beyonce sort of announces in her song that (some) men  treat their women poorly, and if she were a man she'd treat women better, :D Can't get much clearer than that.

"Sold"

Again, about how a man sells everything he has in order to be with a woman. He'd give his own heart to have her, so we have to reoccurring "roles of men and women in society".

I just find it interesting how each person took the roles into different angles.
