The article involves people in the general workspace working and aspiring for new opportunities.

Then she went to the department chair they also didn’t seem to care that she felt invisible and told her she was being too sensitive.

I choose this article because I wanted to find out about how gender equality is affecting the workplace so that when I get a job I can accurately identify it at that point in time.

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

This news article is also talking about how women are being perceived as not equal to men in the workplace and should get future opportunities in just like in the story where the boy doesn’t think that the girls are as strong as them and shouldn’t be allowed to bring the bucket to the pump. Another way this news article can relate to the story  is how the woman in both story goes to ask for help from there superior and gets different results because one is a woman and the other is a man
