Billy, sometimes I don't like the things you have to say, but when I do agree with you, I agree wholeheartedly. I'm 5'2", and there's no way in hell I can control a firefighter's hose, or haul a big man out of a burning building. My boyfriend CAN, but he hates kids. There really are certain roles in the workplace that one gender is better at than others, but there are exceptions. My best friend from high school can beat up my boyfriend and her boyfriend at the same time. I've seen her do it. Her brother is great with kids and would make an excellent kindergarten teacher.
Like I said before, I'm not going to fight for equality in the workplace because physically men and women are not equal. But if there is a woman who wants to be a firefighter and she CAN do the work, then I'll fight for her to be a firefighter. Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former, and have seen no reason to change.
