“But then,
what are the men doing?
If we are going to be the sole financial, physical
and emotional support of our families;
if we are going to do two-thirds of all the work
for one-tenth of all the money,
what are men going to do?

“Most people look straight ahead at the doors of the store as they approach and pass our picket lines. The kids are confused and ask why these people walk past us, can't they read?
I tell them, maybe these people have a disease and we're invisible to them. You know, kinda like color blindness, only when you have class blindness you can't see workers, you can only see things like waffle irons and Winnebagos.
Or maybe they've had an operation so life is now like a game show where you compete for prizes against other workers. This operation is called a lobotomy.
