"I..." The woman sounded hesitant and nervous, her voice choked with tears. "I haven't worked in over ten years. How could I possibly find a job at my age...?"
"Why not? You don't even look that old. You're a long way from the legal retirement age, so why can't you work? You've been relying on a man this whole time—do you really think a man like that is dependable? You could work at a supermarket, you could be a cleaner. There are plenty of jobs out there. Why won't you stand up for yourself, yet you still complain that life is unfair?"
Many in the crowd were level-headed. These days, a woman has to be independent, especially financially!
Otherwise, people will think you're just mooching off a man, and they'll always look down on you.
They'll think you do nothing at home all day but spend his money, that you don't know how to save or even bother to dress up. A frumpy housewife who looks worse than a maid.
