"I'll go one further & say that this is the best line in the song.  Sexist?  
Maybe.
Correct?  Maybe."

Scott,
Great analysis.  I'll go even further with this line.
Definitely sexist.
Correct from the point of view of a sexist immature man, not in an absolute 
sense.  This is the state of mind Pete is expressing here.  He's cynical and 
self-pitying.  Don't mistake that for maturity.  It is not maturity.  It is 
a step on the road to maturity.

Maturity is where he seems to be nowadays - at peace with his kids, his 
family, and his Corporation (The Who).   Hopefully he is also at peace with 
his muse, even if that does mean including Simon ;-)

Jeff
