7,A female friend of yours recently applied for a position with her local fire department.She was very excited about the prospect of working in a diverse environment and serving her community.She was one of 10 applicants for the job, of which 5 were women.Acceptance into the fire -department is contingent on passing a physical fitness test that consists of a run, push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. She and the other 4 women all failed to successfully pass the pull-up portion of the physical fitness test.As a result, despite out performing their male counterparts in the other tested exercises, she and the other 4 women applicants were not offered employment.

Another friend of yours was recently hired by a company that pays her a starting salary of $81,000 due to her MBA.She is also guaranteed six weeks of paid leave upon birth of a child. While discussing her salary and benefits with other new hires, she learns that all of the women have the same pay and benefits as she does, but the male MBA hires are paid $75,000 and do not get six weeks of paid leave in the event of a child.
