The title brings to mind the title of a solo show by Karen Ripley (who was one of the first openly lesbian comedians), Oh No, There's Men on the Land, which also refers to when the men come to womyn's land to empty the porta-janes.

I was wondering if they'd get into the "born a woman" controversy. I'm glad they did.

Glad to see Sarah getting some relief at last, although they telegraphed the eventual source last episode. Straight women, especially mothers, aren't depicted very sympathetically on this show.
