Dang, I was going to say that Mr. Poe was being boring ...
For those who don’t know L’Origine du monde (and, yes, this is not safe for work)
Thank you, Charles! Other blog posters, take note.

doesn't make it sexist, just gender-oriented. Oh god, that sounds like such euphamistic political correctness...
but you get my point.
Shouldn't that be "mais un philosophe"?

Charles Mudede, you are the best!
