Waiters

Lets paint a picture, you are sitting in a restaurant with your significant other, about to order drinks and the waiter asks one of you first. Who is this, the man. The question I propose it why must the waiter ask the man questions pertaining to the table, such as what people want or how the meal tastes. If we live in a world that is supposedly equal, why are waiters and waitresses trained to approach the men of tables. Women have just as much of a right to order for the table or themselves, we do not live in 1700^th century Europe where women cant ask for anything for themselves.
