George Orwell. The aspidistra (№ 248896)

Gordon, what are you talking about? All the fault of women?
- In fact, to blame. It's same they firmly believed in the power of money. Men simply have nowhere to go. Forced humbly to provide the friends their houses, lawns, coats, cradles and rubber plants.
- Oh, Gordon! Women, whether invented money?
- Who invented it doesn't matter. It is important that women have created this cult. They have some kind of mystical worship of money, good and evil for them just "have money" or "no money". Look at you and me. Refuse to sleep with me because my pocket is empty. Yes! She a moment ago said so. <...> But if I had tomorrow, a decent income, you with me tomorrow will fall. Not because traded his nights, not so rough, of course. But deep-down mystical feeling that somehow a man without money don't deserve you. You're feeling weak a shovel. <...> And this myth is law women!
Gordon had enough of stupid men dollarsto! "Women do this" "women do that" as if they are all exactly the same.
- Of course, the same! What does any woman want except a safe family budget, two babies and a cozy apartment with a ficus?
- God, you and your aspidistras!
- No, dear, they are yours! Your sex that cultivates them!
