Goddamn men, saving people all the time

If a woman can pull me out of a burning building while wearing 100lbs of equipment then by all means, become a fireperson.

Abrakedebrah · 2019-06-30T17:58:35+00:00

Rather nice thing for Lauren to say :)

Remember when people who were associated with Harvard were considered pillars of society?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I don't get all this "insert race here" disproportionate shit. White men(non hispanic) make up 31 percent of the population, of course a lot of fields are going to have way more white men in them. I never see this stat applied to minorities. 75 percent of the NBA for example is black, but black males only make up 6 percent of the population.

Just my two cents but you’ve never heard a song about “F**k the Fire Department”. As a black man we have no beef with them. I know its not the point you guys are upset about the attack on “why this needs to change” but just saying thanks to the amazing men and women who do put their lives on the like in a manner that genuinely helps people. White black whatever. Thanks to all firefighters. We never took a knee against you. Keep up the good work, and anytime i see you guys with the boots out on my local corner trying to raise funds ive got a crispy $5 bill for ya.

RenegadeJedi · 2019-07-01T00:26:59+00:00

Wonder if they realize most firefighters are volunteer.

Kevin Nelson is a feminist in disguise

Lauren Chen = true, genuine woman

She has a beautiful personality. If only the majority of women were as intelligent as she is... then they could have easily rejected the anti-male bullshit that they've been indoctrinated with.

2019-06-30T21:28:59+00:00

Saying what the title of the article says basically means "step ur game up women and people of color". Seriously, i love titles like this. They can be... interpreted.

BuffaloBruce · 2019-06-30T21:54:29+00:00

So what is Harvard exactly trying to say?

Are white men more likely to be strong fearless people who risk their lives on a daily basis while trying not to get incinerated?

Or are they saying that women and not-white men are cowards who don't care about anyone but themselves?
Or do they call them weaklings perhaps?

But it needs to change apparently, I'm cool with that. So.... How are they going to do that?
You can't really force people to become a firefighter I guess... Can they?

CuntyMcShittyShaft · 2019-06-30T22:36:13+00:00

Haha her response is hilarious

rationalthought314 · 2019-07-01T02:43:43+00:00

If Fire Departments are discriminating against qualified applicants and personnel then sue them but discouraging white men from becoming fire fighters as this kind of study is wont to do with shame is not a good plan. It's funny that two people interviewed one black and one gay are both captains in their departments.

This study is blatant opportunism of a non-issue for sake of getting attention. Aren't there children dying of starvation this author could save?

jbslol · 2019-06-30T21:48:48+00:00

And shit is going to burn down everywhere because fire doesn’t care about your gender identity.

redveinlover · 2019-06-30T23:45:11+00:00

It doesn't matter anyway, they disproportionately hire non white males. They will take a woman in a heartbeat, regardless of their abilities. Remember that famous video of the woman in training that couldn't make it over the wall? If you're a white male, getting on the team is near impossible.

PhireFoenix · 2019-06-30T21:43:03+00:00

i love Laurens

adelie42 · 2019-06-30T22:23:27+00:00

Firefighters are overwhelmingly Irish. Darwin's Race Theory may have put "White people" at the top and "black people" at the bottom, but he said Irish were not humans and more akin to took using monkeys. It was also common in colonial times to hire Irish to do work too dangerous to put slaves at risk.

Finding meaning in dividing and judging people by "race" is fundamentally racist, which for the most part is entirely bullshit.

yogaflame1337 · 2019-07-01T05:55:07+00:00

"fireperson" those of the fire nation

binkerfluid · 2019-07-01T08:04:33+00:00

I feel like this is a good place for "be the change you want to see"

2019-07-01T10:02:23+00:00

In my fire department there are some women but they mostly do ambulances and not actually fighting fires. The commander kinda let's everyone do what they are the best at. The men there happen to be better at going to burning places and looking for victims, the women there stay outside and look after those victims. Both are important.

mr_fingers · 2019-07-01T11:30:29+00:00

This womenwashing trend needs to stop. Let people do jobs which they’re qualified for, not because of their genital.

808picklejuice · 2019-07-01T09:26:50+00:00

White men bad

reganliao1234 · 2019-07-01T10:28:28+00:00

This is getting too left

marcooni1 · 2019-07-02T10:53:37+00:00

Not just men, but white men

kevinnelson89991 · 2019-06-30T22:49:34+00:00

Imagine a female firefightin crew

halomon3000 · 2019-06-30T19:58:38+00:00

It does need to change though, lets encourage other races to do it more.

ExcellentSauce · 2019-07-01T07:09:32+00:00

More like forcing their will of wanting you to live upon near death victims.

WorbianBrownia · 2019-07-01T10:03:36+00:00

I see posts like this all the time on this thread - I get why, it's mens rights - but are there really so many stupid people out there? I am totally dumbfounded by it.

Who in their right mind thinks a public statement that is sexist and racist is an acceptable thing to do - let alone a good thing? How does she not realise she is comming across as an idiot. An Idiot for creating needless divide. An idiot for being Sexist. An idiot for being racist and an idiot for plain ole' saying dumb things.

Lauren Chen - you're the problem, not the colour or gender of a firefighter you horrid, idiot wretch.

Sorry about the pointless rant but that useless Chen bint got me with this one! Happy monday y'all!

EsotericEye · 2019-06-30T22:19:19+00:00

Read the fucking article. The reason something needs to be done about that is because the way people react to emergencies vastly differ in function of race/culture and gender, and a person with a similar race and gender can assist someone better than someone who isn't.

This isn't about discriminating any white men you snowflakes.
