Wait, wait, let me guess! I hollered as I walked over to her. You’re the construction worker in the all-girl version of the Village People? “Very funny,” Maya responded between drags. “I’m Rosie the Riveter. Icon of American feminism...ring any bells, douchebag?” I must have missed that day in eighth grade...
