thats true. we would want the best firefighetrs and policemen of women out there. theres a big investigation going on right now in richmond B.C. as alll of the women in the fire department there have left the force. one committed suicide i believe a few yrs back, a few just quit their jobs and just recently a few filed i think sexual abuse charges or some kind of harrasement charges against the fire dpeartment stating that theyre not treated equally and that theyve been abused in a number of ways. i think that the other firemen put feces in their boots, put up hardcore porn to make them feel uncmfortable and made like derogaroty phrases aginast them.

So you want a 5 foot, 110 pound woman trying to pull you out of a building?

The majority are hired by some program or agency and given second and third tries to pass their physicals.
Hell, some even get bonuses for just showing up to a fire, when a man gets no bonus for the same thing.

Yeah I agree that is complete bullshit, equality doesn't necessarily mean things have to be the exact same but the pseudo-feminism that is rampant in the West is ridiculous.

See to me that is valid if they are being harrassed. As long as they do a good job they should be left alone.

I doubt a 5 foot 110 pound women would even pass all the physical test to be inducted into the fire department. I was tallking to this guy at a rec center and he told ma about all the training you had to go through. Trust me a 110 pound person wouldn't pass the training. If some how they are phyiscally capable, then sure I'd want her to pull me out of a building.
If the case where that they are given "second and third tries to pass their physicals" then I'd be oppsed to that, but you never mentioned that in your original post.

I don't have a problem with it at all. I know that if a woman is a firefighter, she is qualified. I know a guy who wanted to become a firefighter, but he's too short so he can't. So the woman would obviously have to be a beast.
