y'all sit down and drink your ice tea

A friend of mine who formerly served in JAG sent me this article:
"The system is designed to the disadvantage of males," Anglin said. ''From the elementary level, they establish a philosophy that if you sit down, follow orders, and listen to what they say, you'll do well and get good grades. Men naturally rebel against this."
He comments:
Because, hey, if there's nothing else I learned from my time in the armed forces, it's that men are incapable of following orders after sitting down to listen to what people have to say; that's why military service has stereotypically been the domain of women, what with y'all being so good at unemotional steadiness compared to us hysterical and high-strung males...
(In case you guessed from the "y'all," this is, in fact, the same friend who chastised me for my reference to "iced" tea).
