Articles for opinion comparison and writing your own opinion piece - gender

Here are the links for the two articles we are using today:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jun/19/women-language-boardroom-study
https://www.radainbusiness.com/women-in-the-boardroom

When you are writing your opinion article, 'gender' is obviously the focus of the question but what about some 'power' theory e.g. other strategies for gaining power (Laver's phatic tokens for example) or anything from 'occupation' you can make relevant?
