because i have a penis 

what a man says if he doesn't want to do something that is deemed woman's work, suck as ironing his shirts, or picking up after himself. Sexist when said to a woman, blatantly insulting when said to a male (your questioning his manhood in a very homo-phobic/sexist way).
Woman, i don't cook my own dinner because i have a penis.
