Fate of women same everywhere
America is perhaps the champion in bringing equality between men and women but yet disparity prevails here too. I work in a gas station as a cashier, which is located at Woodway Dr, one of the most posh areas in Houston, Texas. One night a middle aged lady rushed into the store and asked whether we could help her fix the punctured tire of her car which she left somewhere nearby. My boss, the owner of the store, was also present there.
He expressed his inability to do so as the workshop was already closed but offered to help her by calling a roadside assistance company. He called them a number of times but no one answered the phone. Frustrated, the lady began praying to God but to no avail. She then burst into tears and exclaimed, "My husband is a very nice man, but if I go home without the car, he is gonna kill me."
