Cover art for A Real Man lyrics by Sleater-Kinney

I don't think it's about rape. Some men have it in their heads that lesbians just need a 'real man', and once they do it with a real man they'll be 'cured'. Which doesn't happen because lesbians DON'T like men. Seems like that's what it's about to me anyway.
