How does this news article relate to the story we are reading- The Friday Everything Changed?

This article relates to the story we read because, in the story it mentions about how the boys would always get to carry the water. The girls never got the chance to carry the water because to the boys, it was their way of proving their masculinity. The story mentions about how the boys wouldn’t let any of the girls play softball after one of the girls mentions about how the girls can’t carry the water. This relates to the real world situation because it shows that the boy are “in charge” and they get to say what happens and what doesn’t. It also relates to the real world situation because during the story, the girl who spoke up gets beaten up for saying something. This also shows that girls don’t have the freedom of speech because when they say something that is on their mind, they get abused/hurt for saying it.
