Relevant Blog

I was able to find a blog that was relevant to the issue and central focus of my own blog. The blog that I looked at had a background of writing about several barriers that women face, but also just is a place for a woman to have her voice heard. Sometimes being able to be heard is the most important thing emotionally because sometimes it is necessary to speak your mind.
The blog had two posts about woman and the firefighting profession. The first post had to deal with a woman who was fired from her job because other members of her station told the battalion chief that she was driving the ladder truck erratically. When the story is heard in full length it sounds ridiculous and the overall agreement from people that read this story is that the woman should have never been fired. Also, there was a second post with regards to a transgendered firefighter. This highlighted the struggles that she was having within the department as many of her fellow firefighters were not supportive to what she was doing.
This blog is focused around the idea and belief that women area equal to men, and because of this they should be treated equal. Like I had said earlier it’s nice that people can speak their mind sometimes that can be the biggest stress reliever. Not to mention that it is giving these individuals the support that they need as it is apparent that they are not getting any support at work.
