I am a Lady Freeper, and know that talented women can fulfill many occupations with excellence and leadership.
That said, let’s accept the that they do not belong in many occupations that require strength, particularly upper body, hormonal stability, and a masculine temperment.
These would include: military combat, police work, firefighting, oil rigs, timber harvesting, some highly complicated and dangerous construction work, and many more occupations requiring brawn, stamina, and male bonding.
To pretend otherwise, just because it is “fashionable and trendy” is ridiculous and socially destructive.
Feminists would argue that because some woman, somewhere, might have the body build and temperament of a professional football player, all women should be given equal opportunity, and if not represented in enough quantity, discrimination must be assumed.
Yes, there are many women who are better shots than many men. That is not enough to qualify them for police work, or for the military.
It is time for us women to fight back against this diversity nonsense, and demand an end to hiring by numbers, colors, religions, and sexual identity!
Ditto.
Brigadier General?
S*cks to be the Mayor of Mogadishu West right now.
Well said and true, and so are the rest of your remarks.
I just lose it when the obvious, to we conservatives, is scoffed at by the liberal elites.
The natives are getting restless-——this is ASTONISHING.

LoL mayor Betsy could be just as incompetent as her police chief. She can’t secure her own presser while giving speeches of making Minnie safe.
It’s been 10 minutes and these protesters and I still don’t know what these guys are protesting about.
Hatter Phinaldo says he’s a tax payer though...
Yes, on all accounts. Money is the only god they know.
Yes, why was the public even in the building, wherever that is. And nobody to get them out - quick, call the po-po! And turn off the cameras.
Short white lady has her talking points on her phone. What, you didnt bring cue cards?
The mayor should be gone first.
Yes. Police Chiefs are subject to the politicians above them.
If these people have a sit-in, it’s gonna get smelly in a hurry.
They must all be grads of Evergreen College.
“..Money is the only god they know...”
and power!!!
Number 5 do-rag head says they all “got the answers” in the room.
I doubt that they won any converts with this nonsense.

Once again a Democrat-controlled city in turmoil. Downtown Minneapolis is unsafe on weekend nights - shootings, stabbings, assaults, fights. Young Muslim men in groups going into upscale neighborhoods around the cozy city lakes threatening to rape and assault women. And they call this state and city “Minnesota Nice.”
I think you need to wait for the photos before making that offer!
I’m dead serious.
t the same time, taking 4 days to get back on the job, when she had to be informed of this almost immediately is simply unforgivable for a police chief.

Yesterday in her press conference, she said that she was in communication with the department at all times. Later she intimated that she was on a personal time off. Later in the conference, she said she was hiking in the mountains and it took 4 days to get back?
