| 1 | Female applicants to be given preference for firefighting jobs: "preference in selection will be given to female applicants assessed as suitable" Male teacher applicants in elementary education are expected to remain silent.Points for honesty. | /r/MensRights | 15/03/17 02:56 AM |

Who is talking about glory? Is there absolutely zero circumstances, in you opinion, where having more women in the force be a positive thing? If yes, just say you don't think women or having more women would bring value to being in the force. This tangent on "glory" seems like too large a leap for me. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/17 02:01 PM |

I only had qualitative data from people I know, but that is really interesting to see the stats. I didn't think it would be that low! We really depend on first responders for so many things. Sounds corny, but it is awesome to know we live in a place where you can make a call and people will stop at nothing to rush out and help you in your time of need. Truly badass. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/17 03:05 AM |

Not quote me on the exact ratio, but house fires where I grew up were incredibly rare. More often than not, they were responding to car crashes, noxious orders where there was the chance of gas leaks, & safety issues unrelated to fires. Lots of time calls were in response to the elderly citizens. One of my friends had horror stories of finding people covered in the own… | /r/MensRights | 14/03/17 12:19 AM |

Again, fair point not to send in under qualified people to save lives if they cannot from a physical stand point. Do all people at a fire need to fit this criteria? I have some pretty old station chiefs who are out of shape and probably are not ready to throw on all the gear and run in. Are other duties available like crane operation, logistics … | /r/MensRights | 13/03/17 10:23 PM |

However, there may be actual and legitimate reasons to also encourage more female FFs. In the states, from my friends how work in their local depts (this is mostly suburbia), they tell me that 90%+ of what they do is not fight fires, but more social and domestic related issues. Having more female FFs cou… | /r/MensRights | 13/03/17 08:32 PM |
