"Because there are guys on this forum with MAJOR issues with women -- in all walks of life."
I agree 100% that quite a few guys on this forum have serious girl issues, but this is one situation where I agree with them. I'll put my brains and emotional fortitude up against any guy any time, but I can't say that about my physical strength. At 5'4, 115, I'll get my ass kicked every time.
Having said that, if a 6' 200 pound woman wants to be a cop and meets the same - not lowered - physical standards as the men, she should be in. Otherwise, she should look elsewhere for employment. I don't want my surgeon to be a blind guy, I don't want my telephone operator to be deaf, and I don't want my cops, male or female, physically wimpy.
