Pen and Paper
The pen hit he paper in the most seductive of way. The hand nearly smudge the fonts on the creamy paper. The ink is still wet when he realized that he has written something worth of note.

When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.

He looked at the ceiling with great reverence, might be to himself or the man he turned to write the line. He continued -

When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.
When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.
When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.
When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.
When you try so hard to be a man, you become a girl.
WHEN YOU TRY SO HARD TO BE A MAN, YOU BECOME A GIRL.

over and over again, ending in large sturdy capitals. Why he stopped might be tricky to answer the fickle son, but surely great abstention was required. Maybe he stopped because he had made his point.

Or he stopped because he was no longer afraid to smudge the paper when he closed the book.
