My coworker said women have more power than men these days.

So I turned to him with the filthy rag we both use to wipe down cars in hand, covered in grease and mud, and said “If I had more power than you why the fuck am I working this job instead of running this company and bossing you around?”

He conceded to that. We both agree the class division is more important than talking about gender. In the end, though gender is one of the reasons we experience it different, we are both still poor.
