Allison Versus the Patriarchy: A Conversation Totally in Jest (Except for the Clueless Waiter)
| Waiter at Fancy Restaurant: | "Oh, and it's men's night tonight, so drinks are half-price for all the gentlemen in the group." |
| A: | "What the hell? I'M the oppressed one." |
| Male Acquaintance: | "Yeah, yeah, patriarchy, parity, rigid gender roles, whatever. You want gender equality but you also want special treatment?" |
| A: | "Centuries of systemic oppression, dude. The least I can get is cheap booze and free admission to strip clubs." |
