"Oh, please. This is an unprecedented opportunity for knowledge! Many men claim to know how a woman feels, but until now no one has ever known from experience. I'm going to win every argument ever!"
and this:
Maybe he should find someone who'd been born female and commiserate about the porcine nature of men. Maybe it would even get him laid.
and this:
"Well," Rodney said, mollified. "And well it should,"
I also love how Rodney emerges from his experience with no more understanding of and sympathy for the female condition than he had before. I would have been a little sad were that not the case.
Apropos, it's interesting that you used the male pronoun for Rodney throughout. Was that something you had to make a decision about, or did it come naturally?
