“Girls Just Want to Have Sums” is the nineteenth episode of the seventeenth season of ''The Simpsons''. It originally aired on April 30, 2006. ==Plot== The Simpsons and many other prominent Springfieldians go to see a performance of Stab-A-Lot: The Itchy & Scratchy Musical. The show features the cat and mouse doing what they do best, but all in song. The audience is enthralled by the performance and give it a standing ovation. 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, 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. With the help of Marge, she disguises herself as a boy named Jake Boyman 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. 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. After that the boys all engage in a chair fight. Lisa walks off stage to Martin playing the flute, but quietly sneaks up behind him and hits him with a chair. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girls Just Want to Have Sums」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
