Jailbreak the Patriarchy

Has anyone played with this Chrome extension that reverses gender for everything you read on the internet. Gives you a glimpse of (if all things were equal just reversed) how things could look if Women were the predominant gender.

What a hoot! Read DU from a matriarchal perspective.

I just watched the film "Confederate States of America," which depicts an imaginary version of the U.S. had the South won the war. Doing something similar with gender sounds like a great idea.
