I don't think I've ever been so angry. Papa has been looking for work for months, and he still hasn't been able to find anything. Yesterday I finally decided to go into the city and try to get a job for myself. Papa said that unemployment is at 25% of the population, but I figured that I should try to get a job anyway.
Well, I ended up finding a convenience store that needed cashiers, and I had thought that I would finally get a job, but when I went in to talk to the manager about a job he turned me away! He said that I was a woman and that the men, being the "bread winners," should get the first chance to find a job.
I can't believe anyone would say something like that! We are all struggling to survive in these hard times, and sticking by some silly little sexist belief isn't going to help anyone.
