Who was sure the "good ones" would remain.
But now she's reported
Her husband's deported,
Perhaps next time she'll abstain.

Its contested now, but some research suggests that due to sexism via unconscious bias, people are less cautious in responding to weather warnings if the storm has a female name. But Eowyn from LOTR was a woman masquerading as a man! Coincidence or public health policy? You decide!
