Matriarchy – A woman asks her husband if she can work to contribute to the family’s expenses. He gets angry saying she cannot, yet he doesn’t give her any money for food and instead goes out to drink at the bar. At the bar, the man complains about his wife but a woman who’s there scolds him saying that women have the right to work and are capable of taking on huge responsibilities.
