Texas A&M called out for sexist lyrics to revised War Hymn

Texas A&M recently held a Chalk Talk event for women, in which fans had the opportunity to meet Aggies coaches and participate in drills and get a preview of the upcoming season.
So far, so good.
At one point, TAMU presented a revised version of the Aggie War Hymn for women. This, in theory, could have been fun.
The version rewritten for Chalk Talk, however, appears to be nostalgic for the “Mad Men” era. Needless to say, it didn’t go over well with at least one attendee:
I'm #mortified #embarrassed & #furious W/@TAMU & @12thMan. Dish towels & Lysol? Really? #icanteven #chalktalk #tamu pic.twitter.com/R47UfhvK9t

We’re guessing Dousay was not the only attendee offended.
Andrew writes about sports to fund his love of live music and collection of concert posters. He strongly endorses the Hall of Fame campaigns of Fred Taylor and Andruw Jones.
