Cole is at her desk, droning away at her work. Coworker Bryan leans over from the cubicle next to her.
Bryan: Hey, did you hear what Bernie said earlier today?
Cole: Um, I don’t care?
Bryan: But he was really rude to Hillary. I couldn’t believe it. You’ve got to see this. I’ll send you the link.
Cole: Ugh.
She reads the article.
Bryan: Well?
Cole: Well what?
Bryan: Wasn’t he rude? The way he interrupted her?
Cole: I guess so. No ruder than she’s—
Bryan: But, but he was rude to Hillary.
Cole blinks.
Bryan: And she’s a woman.
Cole stares patiently.
Bryan: And he’s a man. Being rude. To a woman.
Cole: I see the dots you’re trying to connect and—
Bryan: He’s sexist.
Cole: Ugh.
