Feminist Hero Refuses To Let Fireman Carry Her From Burning Building [satire]

HELL’S KITCHEN, NY—A woman is being heralded as a feminist icon after refusing to let a male firefighter carry her out of a burning building.

The woman burned to death several minutes later, sources confirmed.

According to FDNY firefighters, the woman was spotted in the living room of her home, which had become engulfed in flames. Immediately, one of New York’s bravest charged through the the front door to rescue the helpless woman.

But what happened next will go down in the history books.

As the fireman reached out to pick up the woman and carry her to safety, she stood in defiance, crying out, “What, because I’m a woman, you think I need to be carried? Is that it?” just before her hair burst into flames.

“Ma’am, you are on fire, and your legs appear broken,” the firefighter said calmly, coaxing her to come with him if she wanted to live.

“That’s sooooo typical, hitting on me in the middle of an emergency. Smash the patriarchy!” she screamed.

When it became clear that she would not come with him, the firefighter reluctantly left the building just before it collapsed in a heap of ash and rubble.

At publishing time, the National Organization for Women had announced plans to erect a statue of the brave feminist hero where the building once stood, in honor of her courageous defiance of male dominance.

In real life he would have carried her out and saved her life and she would have accused him of sexual harassment.

I believe I knew who the woman WAS if the town was named Chappaqua.

Vaguely amusing at best. High school writing skills.

Someone needs to take a writing course.

Also, read IowaHawk if you want real conservative satire.

Dang, that tops my decades-old tale of a girl I met who was such a strict vegetarian that she wouldn’t breast-feed her own daughter. True story.

Nope, that is NOT in Hell’s Kitchen, nor ANYWHERE in Manhattan! But then, this article is listed in the “ENTERTAINMENT” section, so I wonder what this is all about.

If I were the artist who crafted the Charging Bull I would replace it with a Bulldozer backing over that little puissant.

It is difficult to tell satire from fake news from truth sometimes these days.

Must be a joke of course but it really isn’t that far beyond belief is it.

My son-in-law is a 2nd degree vegetarian. He doesn’t like vegetables, but he does eat herbivores and firmly believes that’s close enough.

Sadly, these days the left is so cookoo, the standard is to put (satire) in the headline.

It was added somewhere in the FR rules but heck if I know where.

I just know it since it was required from some of our local satirists.
