, and Skinner responds: "Well, of course you did--I mean, you are a girl!". Everyone is shocked at the sexist remark. Skinner’s attempts to defend himself just worsens the situation (he notes that boys seem to do better than girls in what he refers to as "the real subjects"), and he ends up being kicked in the crotch by the puppeteer
-controlled Itchy and Scratchy characters.
The next day, the teachers of Springfield Elementary and other ladies stage a protest outside the school against Skinner, much to the displeasure of Superintendent Chalmers. Skinner assures him that he will take care of it and holds a conference in the school’s auditorium, inviting all the protesting ladies to attend. There, he tries to pacify them by wearing a skirt and saying that men and women are equal but not identical. Nothing he says has a good effect on the ladies, so finally he has a nervous breakdown onstage. Chalmers comes out and introduces them to their new principal — female principal, that is. As her first act as principal, Melanie Upfoot separates the boys and girls into separate schools. The move is met with mixed reactions, not least because the all-boy school still has to take ballroom dancing.
The next day, Otto
drops off the girls at their school, and then drives a few feet ahead and releases the boys from their cage in the bus, so they can attend their school. Lisa
seems to feel right at home in the girl-friendly school, with the fountains, paintings by female artists, pink paint and all. She attends her first period math class, taught by the new principal, but instead of usual number-crunching, she starts speaking about feelings and smell in math. While the other girls enjoy it, Lisa asks whether they will get down to doing problems, to which the principal replies that problems are how boys look at math. Disillusioned by this “pro-female” (and illogical) bias toward her favorite subject, as the remainder of her class sings along with the teacher, Lisa climbs over the wall into the boys’ school compound — a rundown, desolate, dystopia
n world plagued by stray wolves, graffitied walls, garbage, and rusted cars. She peeps into one of the classrooms and sees a math class in session, where actual, accurate math is being taught exactly how she likes it, even coming up with the correct answer when none of the other boys did. She is caught by Skinner, now an assistant to Groundskeeper Willie
, and ordered to leave at once. Lisa asks him why she cannot study normal math, but Skinner is too brainwashed by supposed political correctness to answer her. Willie then orders Skinner to poison the squirrels, but the squirrels team up and poison Skinner.
With the help of Marge
, she disguises herself as a boy (with many interests that include the word "boy" in it) named “Jake Boyman” (though the boys quickly nickname her “Toilet” due to some toilet paper being stuck to her shoe) and attends the boys’ school. During the math class, she is beaten by Martin
, but she feels happy to have learned something. Unfortunately, being with the boys means having to act like one and, during lunch, Lisa inadvertently gets into a fight with Nelson
. Despite her efforts to use her intelligence to escape her situation, she gets beaten up. When Bart
returns home that day, happy to have seen a fight and runs upstairs to tell Lisa. To his shock, he finds her sobbing silently in her room, still dressed as Jake. When Bart asks her if she told their mother about her being beaten up, she responds that she fears that Marge will not allow her back to the boys’ school. Bart feels sorry for Lisa, as he doesn't think anyone should be forced to be a girl if they have a choice, and tells her that he will teach her to act like a boy.
Thanks to Bart’s help, Lisa begins to pick up the code of the boys, including eating french fries that fell onto a dirty restaurant floor and beating up a defenseless Ralph Wiggum
; this last act wins over Nelson and the others and "Jake Boyman" becomes an accepted part of their cruel and violent world. However, Lisa does well in math class, and at an awards ceremony is recognized for her outstanding performance in math. She then reveals her true identity to the whole school, and she explains why she had to disguise herself. Bart gets up and tells everyone that she did well only because she was acting like a boy. Angry at hearing this, she throws her award at Bart, but when he ducks aside, Lisa ends up hitting Ralph again. Not seeing how “boy-like” she has become, she adds that she is happy to be both a girl and good at math, then hits Martin Prince
in the head with a folding chair to shut him up when he comes onstage to sing.
A subplot of the episode involves Homer
and Marge's
relationship where, in the next morning after the incident, Marge tries to cheer Lisa up by pointing out the contributions of the women to society, but when Homer and Bart interfere with the conversation remarking that the men are more important than women, Marge retaliated by forcing Homer to sleep on the couch. The next night, Homer tries to apologise for his sexism
, but lacks both intellect while sensibility to this and is once again forced to sleep at the couch. When Homer tries to get comfort from Santa's Little Helper
, he unwittingly insults him by claiming that he's dumber than he himself, the offended dog kicks Homer out of the house and forces him to sleep at his dog-house, where Homer wonders what he did to deserve these punishments.
