“If your standards are too high, lower your standards!”
America has been experimenting with a “Lowest Common Denominator (LCD)” mentality for the past 60 years.
LCD ONLY works in mathematics! LCD TOTALLY FAILS when exported to general society!

One good sign is that the fire women who were interviewed called this out for the insane safety hazard it would be.
"The law, she added, is "absolutely insane. Either you can do the job or you can’t.""

At this point we’ve become a parody of a parody.

My cousin’s daughter was on the Swat Team in Tucson years back. She could have kicked my ass across the state with one foot. The question that is pertinent is: "Could she kick some criminal's ass?". Or more simply: "Did she pass the same physical qualification tests required for the men on her team?". Most women cannot pass such tests and should not be in those positions if the tests are truly reflecting of job requirements.
Fighting activity is an objective test that is unforgiving of lower standards and has requirements which are not politically correct according to the current Narrative(tm).
Ignoring this gets people injured or killed.

Get ready for the “body positive” firewomyn!

Yes, I can see the utility of having women working for the police. But as firefighters, what is the point? I imagine dwarfs, the blind and amputees are underrepresented in the fire stations as well, why not lower standards for them as well, in the name of inclusion and equity?
I’m getting tired of stupid.

She did that for a living.

Wait a minute! How will this law be applied when most democrats can’t define what a woman is?

Maybe so but she was/is someone to be reckoned with.
Also went to the nationals with a 357.

By the way, lowering standards is a very, very bad idea.
To: Rummyfan
Yeah, but what about all the “diverse” people screaming out the windows of burning buildings? Save me!
Is THAT fair?

To anyone who disagrees and wants to ask me whether I was in the police or a swat team, I'm not going to tell you. If you don't like women serving along side of men, then get off your tails and do something about it instead of attacking me over it.

I never said anything about lowering standards, and I don't support lowering standards. If they can't meet the same standards, they don't get the job, full stop.
Of course that's easy to post on the Internet, but when it comes around to actually doing something about it, nothing. That's because men are too whipped to do anything that might offend whoever it is they want to stick it into.
Until men can meet the same standards as women when it comes to standing up for your rights, none of this will change.
