I witnessed for my self the city council led by man beast vivarito explaining how monumental thier decision was to intagrate females and minorities into the FDNY because of thier gender and color. No mention of thier strength or skills needed. This is not important to these idiots! complete and utter a##holes!
Who's going to knock down doors and rescue my family in a fire?
I'd prefer the strong male.
IF there's a woman who can physically do the job EXACTLY as well, then that's OK by me.
They are trying to match reality to the fiction they’ve been pushing on TV for decades; good luck with that. In the private sector it is harder to fake it; if someone can’t do the job then the work goes to someone who can. Companies have to keep the “fake workers” on the payroll, but in the end they have to pay the real workers. When my employer started handing out titles & money to tokens I cut my hours to the bare minimum (outlined when I was hired) and have enjoyed a much better work/life balance since.
