In dem Gedicht „A Sli­ce of Wed­ding Cake“ von Robert Gra­ves wer­den Män­ner so rich­tig schön niedergemacht:

Why have such scores of love­ly, gifted girls
Mar­ried impos­si­ble men?
Simp­le self-sacri­fice may be ruled out,
And mis­sio­na­ry endea­vour, nine times out of ten.

Repeat ‚impos­si­ble men‘: not mere­ly rustic,
Foul-tem­pe­red or depra­ved
(Dra­ma­tic foils cho­sen to show the world
How well women behave, and always have behaved).

Impos­si­ble men: idle, illiterate,
Self-pity­ing, dir­ty, sly,
For who­se appearance even in City parks
Excu­ses must be made to casu­al passers-by.

Has God’s sup­p­ly of tole­ra­ble husbands
Fal­len, in fact, so low?
Or do I always over-value woman
At the expen­se of man?
Do I?
It might be so.
