This is so funny. I thought about referencing A Boy Named Sue, but I was afraid that most people wouldn't have ever heard the song. However, that is exactly what Russians think when they hear of a girl named Nikita.

I believe everyone thought of the Eastern Bloc as "2nd World", but who knows.

I'm not even sure if we are allowed to use the word "gender" anymore if we are straight, white males. I am sure I just offended half my American audience with that statement.
