I am a Lady Freeper, and know that talented women can fulfill many occupations with excellence and leadership.

That said, let’s accept the that they do not belong in many occupations that require strength, particularly upper body, hormonal stability, and a masculine temperment.

These would include: military combat, police work, firefighting, oil rigs, timber harvesting, some highly complicated and dangerous construction work, and many more occupations requiring brawn, stamina, and male bonding.

To pretend otherwise, just because it is “fashionable and trendy” is ridiculous and socially destructive.

Feminists would argue that because some woman, somewhere, might have the body build and temperament of a professional football player, all women should be given equal opportunity, and if not represented in enough quantity, discrimination must be assumed.

Yes, there are many women who are better shots than many men. That is not enough to qualify them for police work, or for the military.

It is time for us women to fight back against this diversity nonsense, and demand an end to hiring by numbers, colors, religions, and sexual identity!

Well said and true, and so are the rest of your remarks.

I just lose it when the obvious, to we conservatives, is scoffed at by the liberal elites.

LoL mayor Betsy could be just as incompetent as her police chief. She can’t secure her own presser while giving speeches of making Minnie safe.

It’s been 10 minutes and these protesters and I still don’t know what these guys are protesting about.

Hatter Phinaldo says he’s a tax payer though...

Yes, why was the public even in the building, wherever that is. And nobody to get them out - quick, call the po-po! And turn off the cameras.

Yes. Police Chiefs are subject to the politicians above them.

Once again a Democrat-controlled city in turmoil. Downtown Minneapolis is unsafe on weekend nights - shootings, stabbings, assaults, fights. Young Muslim men in groups going into upscale neighborhoods around the cozy city lakes threatening to rape and assault women. And they call this state and city “Minnesota Nice.”

t the same time, taking 4 days to get back on the job, when she had to be informed of this almost immediately is simply unforgivable for a police chief.
_______________________________________________
Yesterday in her press conference, she said that she was in communication with the department at all times. Later she intimated that she was on a personal time off. Later in the conference, she said she was hiking in the mountains and it took 4 days to get back?
