Science is tough, especially for scientist dudes who are just trying to do important experiments but are always getting distracted by all the lady scientists in the lab, breaking down in tears every five seconds, when they're not falling madly in love with that scientific man brilliance.

I was floored, I had no idea what I'd done. After that I was quite cautious around women, and careful of my tone, etc. It was eye opening.

Especially when in real life, "basta che si muova."
I like the parody "...I bought her an appliance. I thought she'd make me recipes...."
