You were the "upper class" for me, I was '71. Regardless, I have a some very good friends from your class.

The line "Bring Me Men" came from a poem... As I recall the rest of that line went: "to match my mountains." You are absolutely correct that there was no disrespect intended to women, or anyone else, for that matter.

Unfortunately, the intent of historic poems and other documents, and even, events, are now being "rewritten" to suit some imaginary sense of ideological feminist extremism.

You are correct.......a poem by Samuel Walter Foss:

Bring me men to match my mountains,
Bring me men to match my plains;
Men with empires in their purpose
And new eras in their brains.
Bring me men to match my mountains,
Bring me men to match my plains;
Men to chart a starry empire,
Men to make celestial claims.
Bring me men to match my prairies,
Men to match my inland seas;
Men to sail beyond my oceans,
Reaching for the galaxies.
These are men to build a nation,
Join the mountains to the sky;
Men of faith and inspiration,
Bring me men, bring me men, bring me men!
Bring me men to match my forests,
Bring me men to match my shore;
Men to guard the mighty ramparts,
Men to stand at freedom's door.
Bring me men to match my mountains,
Men to match their majesty;
Men to climb beyond their summits,
Searching for their destiny.
