took my ATM card and gave it to her to swipe, she now gave the POS to him to type the pin! I was in shock…

I asked her, was I not the one that gave you the card, why the hell will you give it to him. She said she thought… didn't even..

I'm a woman?? I gave her a piece of mind. What rubbish?! So the woman isn't allowed to pay? Bcs she's out with a man?!

I was so disgusted! I almost didn't even pay since i gave you card you decided to be stupid and give it to him to pay!

I'm still very angry! These are the things we talk about all the damn time. Like I'm still confused.

Patriarchy or just sheer stupidity?
