I deliberately choose not to quote Sor Juana's poem "Hombres necios" because I thought it likely it would be hidden under the charge of misandry. Mind you this was a poem published in 17th century Spain and New Spain, in a culture dominated by a highly conservative Catholic Church. Yet I'm afraid jurors here would hide it.
