Women settle suit with Chicago Fire Department

Quote:

In 2011, Samantha Vasich, one of the rejected female candidates, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Chicago, alleging the test was unfair to women because it placed too much emphasis on strength rather than firefighting skills.

Strength is a skill.

The fuck are they going to do about it?

[InternationPlayboy]

Strength is a huge part of being a firefighter.

This feminist bull shit is gonna literally start killing people. Firefighters have peoples lives in their hands, nobody wants some inept feminazi taking that job.

What's up with the City of Chicago and disparate impact?

They also got bludgeoned by the Supreme Court for factoring exam scores into hiring decisions because blacks scored lower than whites.

Apparently a post-gender, post-racial America is one where interest groups are more overt about instilling an identity politics spoils system.

The embracing of liberal creationism and egalitarian blank slatism certainly isn't helping to mitigate America's decline.

For instance, the best genomics research is now done in Beijing. The next paradigm shift will be driven by China, not America.

Think there are any feminists in a burning building? Maybe feminists should be required to have a woman rescue them - you know, their superior firefighting skills will make up the for the fact they won't be able to carry them anywhere.

[T and A Man]

Do men have 'proper' firefighting skills.. hmm.. answer me that?

You think an uncontrollable fire REALLY wants to be that way?

When was the last time a MAN walked up to a fire and asked it about its feelings? Perhaps if the patriarchy didn't instill methods of violence into men and see the extinction of flame via violent methods as the default resolution, and instead opened up a channel of dialogue, we and fire could learn to cooperate!

This is why 50% of all firefighters should be womyn.

My hometown! We are well on our way to being the next Detroit.

The hamster knows no bounds. This proves--beyond a reasonable doubt--that today's feminism is little more than a giant shit test. They'll keep getting increasingly absurd until the collective man draws the line and lays the smackdown.

The word firefighting has the word fighting embedded right in it, for god's sake.

$10,000 bucks, anyone?
By 2030, Femcunts will want to end discrimination based on merit.

I'm dead serious, if the productive American Beta male knew what was in store for him in East Asia, slim, sttractive women that love, love, love White guys, respectable work ethics, and a place where productivity and intelligence is give its due.
A Beta flight from the US will turn this shithole into 1990s Somalia, too many people addicted to welfare, not enough producers to pay the required tax revenue.
Boomers, would you fucking retire already?
SPEED THE FUCKING COLLAPSE

I'm sorry, this is obviously chauvinistic. The term you were looking for was "fire management", and we all know that women are better managers.

[WanderingSoul]

If a 185lb male is unconscious in a burning building, would this woman be able to carry him to safety? Of course not. That is why strength is extremely important for firefighters.

Fat, out of shape fucks should not be firefighters either. They don't have the necessary physical traits for the job.

Women, and society unfortunately, are going to learn the hard way that strength is a very necessary attribute in many professions. Women really CAN'T do everything that a man can do.

[A War You Cannot Win]

I went to a course a couple months ago my command made me go to. I'm in the infantry, so I never see or train with female marines.

Whenever we had to do mock patrols, guess who had to carry some of the female marine's gear/fighting load?

The men.

[thebassist]

[LEMONed IScream]

Am I the only one that thought this was about economics?!

[samsamsam]

What happens when someone dies because a female firefighter can't carry someone out. Does that then mean the fire department can get sued for inadequate staffing/recruiting.

It is a no win.

I know some people who close business or just work for themselves to avoid all of the nonsense.
