 Two women are connected by a pair of brothers that many would deem undeserving of the success that they have recently encountered on a Dragon's Den style show. 

This is a biting satirical look at the comparison between the work done by women in society that goes completely unrewarded while men put in minimum effort to reap the rewards of a Patriarchal society. 
I do realise that this is about the fourth time that I've written a kind of "ugh, men" review here, but honestly these stories are all very much centered around inequality of various kinds so it's to be expected.
