I think this song might have started the Hippie Movement.

People who have always had someone who's "got their back" don't see that as a privilege

I feel so tired, but I've got 5 hours of working outside in the cold before I can climb into my warm, safe bed tonight. I don't feel like working at all. Why can't I just retire? My mind is 66, why don't they just give me a pension already? sh*****g government.

wizard /wĭz′ərd/
noun

1. One who practices magic; a sorcerer or magician.
2. A skilled or clever person.
"a wizard at math."
3. A sage

Nothing about gender.

Is that the difference between a Lizard Wizard and a Gizzard Wizard?

It really depends on the piece of media. Since witches aren't real, the rules are up to interpretation and can be whatever the writer wants them to be.

Generally, Witches are associated with nature magic and potions. It can be gendered (like in Harry Potter). However, you also have shows like Nowhere Boys (2013) where the main male character is referred to as a witch.

Wizards typically have to learn magic. I believe The Wizards of Waverly place used the term Wizard in a gender-neutral way, however, I haven't seen the show, so I can't confirm.

There was an episode of the Worst Witch where it was debated if a girl could be a wizard or not. I can't remember which version, it's been rebooted a lot. I liked the books growing up.

A sorcerer is born with magic / the magic is innate. If the magic was given, stolen or otherwise comes from another source, then that would usually fall into warlock territory. Not always though. As I said, since it's fictional, the rules can be whatever works for the story.

I've thought about this a lot since I've previously written magic systems for stories (that I ended up scrapping).

A few years ago I went to a tourist attraction, and the female bathrooms there were signed as "witches" and the male bathrooms were signed as "wizards". So that made me think that the male equivalent of witches are wizards.
Maybe they should have named it "vampires" instead, as that seems more like a male version of witches.

^No, I think "vampires" are actually unisex, and are more like a different type of supernatural creature apart from wizards and witches, despite having some similarities.
