Girl Power
I pulled into a Safeway gas station before I left on my recent trip. In Oregon we cannot pump our own gas, so there are a crew of minimum wage guys working at every gas station.
Anyway, the gas jockey started filling my truck and then ran over to another island with the window-washing squeegee where 2 other jockeys were already washing the window of a cute redheaded girl's car.
Then all 3 ran past me and my truck to the island on the other side to wash the windows of a blonde girl's car.
I grumbled the whole time as I washed my own windows.
Of course, this has nothing to do with privilege, just hormones. None of the gas jockeys had a chance with the girls, which made me feel a little better as I hit the road.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
