With all due respect to our female FReepers, I don't think firemen or policemen should be anything other than large, athletic males.

Let me try to help you out before you dig a hole too deep. I think it has more to do with size, which women are smaller for the most part. On the other hand, I know some women out there over 250lbs that would just as easily spit tobacco juice on you as look at ya.

Variations of that show up every time this subject of women in male jobs comes up.

I've never seen these women, not in the rough bars, not in the biker gangs, not in the army.

I can go to my local Hell's Angel bar and see what qualify as societies toughest women, but they always take a second place to the men, including the non Angel men.

Watch any Motorcycle group, it is a private organization so affirmative action doesn't apply, and in those clubs women are never physically dominant, even though outside the club they are considered fearsome among their female peers.
