Men revolt against being subjected to chick food in this tongue-in-cheek declaration that they have the inalienable right to eat meat. And these carnivores crave the Texas Double Whopper at Burger King. They exercise their new found freedom to the tune of “I Am Man,” a testosterone-laced takeoff on the women’s lib anthem “I Am Woman.”
