Feminism #2

actually never seen a female fire fighter, what do they do? wash out the hose afterwards or?

I met a female firefighter in Miami, I think she did the cooking and cleaning at the Fire station. 😉

before Dim explodes ... I know of at least one women in the Antwerp fire brigade and she's as much a firefighter as the others

So Antwerp has a lot of firefighter who do the dishes then

yes, lots of people means lots of dishes to wash

men and women doing that together

😂 now thats was funny

I don't think the squeamish thing is true, as there are plenty of women in the health professions, and I, myself, am not in the least bit sqeamish - anybody who's had to sit up all night with a sick pet knows what I'm talking about! Some things, though, men CAN do better than women and vice versa - but not ALL the time. Like, for example, women bodybuilders and just basically strong women could pick up far heavier loads than some men. It's all a matter of what you personally can do. My brother used to be stronger than me, but then I got involved in theatre and he just sat at his computer all day. Believe me, shifting heavy flats and scenery at past midnight, when you've been rehearsing all day and just wanna go HOME sorts out the weak from the strong!

Ok, ok, I promise not to turn this thread into animal rights...

no they don't! there are still plenty of animals who should get much more space!

Whaaat? too many big words Ush, what does it all mean?

nothing

Oh good, shan't read it then.

don't do the trouble, it's gone

I'm not going to explode...just want to take note of the knuckle draggers who think that strength is the only defining factor of being a fire fighter... stupid stupid boys.

hey! I'm not stupid! 🙁
I'm retarded 😛

Ya know, they even let women join the army now..... Sheesh, welcome to the 21st century people.

(And besides this was all going on in the 20th century as well!)

WHA-AT? women in the army? this must be stopped!
This is outrageous! I demand a commitee must be send to investigate this matter!

It's strange how so many (prersent company excluded) can still see sexism as ok, even though they recognise that racism is a bad thing.

Any kind of discrimination is a bad thing, whether it be creed, colour, sex, disability, shape or any other of a multitude of factors.

And feminism and chauvenism simply collude to perpetuate the problem.

don't know the situation in england, but in belgium with have
1) a law, making discrimination in any way a fellony (sp)
2) a centre where you can file a complaint about any discriminating behavior and they will look into it and even sue the one if you have a case
3) forgot one, but I know there were three things

the problem i have with the woman fire fighters is this.... women take a completely different test then men do to become fire fighters, because the male test would be to hard for them. so they get an easier one. i dont think thats fare at all, because then that means that more efficient male fire fighters arent getting to become ones, because the women who get a better score on the female test get the job first, even though on the male test they probably woulda scored lower. now id have no problem with it if they all took 1 test. but that cant happen because if that was the case there wouldnt be any women fire fighters....or very few of them... and they'd complain and blah blah blah. i just dont think thats right.
