Feminism/Gender Inequality

“When I went in to give my application, the older lady said, ‘This is no kind of job for a woman.’”
When I was 14 I was applying for a job at a place that builds lawn chairs. From the time I was little I was always my Dad’s sidekick and he is a contractor, so I knew exactly how to do this kind of work. When I went in to give my application the older lady that was the manager, she said, “This is no kind of job for a woman.” That is when I proceeded to notify her I had previous experience and she completely dismissed me. The thing that stung the most was it was a fellow woman who dismissed me.

This article is a perfect example of gender inequality. Just because she is a girl, she isn’t allowed to work at a job of her choice? instead of working at a job she is eligible and has the right experience to work their, she doesnt get the job because she is a female. This is why I chose this article to talk about.

How does this relate to- The Friday Everything Changed. I agree generally this job doesnt have women working their just like how the boys always carry the water bucket. That doesn’t mean women cant work their/carry the water bucket.
