Go ask Alice.... I think she'll know
Yes people get hung up on the gender but we need to focus on the size.A short man is just as much a problem as small women....More women use their guns more causing more fatalities which adds to the problem.
Political Correctness is endangering the safety and security of our nation on a daily basis. This article does a good job of describing the physical and emotional "dumbing down" effect on society of these make-believe regulations which are ending in death and destruction. If you weight 180 pounds, do you want a 120 pound female or male firefighter coming to rescue you from your burning building or worse, to have to move some kind of heavy object to rescue your child? The matter of police work is more serious because severe situations occur more frequently. Women can do many things and they should be screened for the tasks they can do, and they should be barred from what their physical attributes tell us they cannot do. Lives depend on good sense and our blindness and our affluence have defrauded us through the allowance of crazy, irrational thinking regarding so many crucial areas of security in our communities. Human creation is what it is and magical thinking, which used to be called abnormal, will not change the facts. Many people want to pretend they can sing like Whitney Houston but put them on the stage and tell them to make a living at it and they will fail miserably..This is cut of the same cloth. It is time we confronted this issue and put pressure on the ruling authorities to change it back to reflect reality.
Watch the families of the victims sue hell out Fulton Cty. Don't be surprised if the perp's family does the same! Watch the lawyers attempt to shift the onu$ to the State of Ga.! Just think how easily it could have been avoided. P. C.,,,,,,Pure Crap
Judge Barnes is calling from Heaven.....What the H. happened?...Oh..because of political correctness I am here?....I see...my life was sacrificed for trying to prove that any woman can do a man's job...I see....
I LIKE this man. I kept wanting to take excerpts out to respond to when I realized that I would be reposting the whole article!
Thank you for introducing me to him. What a breath of fresh air and common sense.
I just don't understand why some women find these realities so difficult to accept. But, then again, the feminist agenda never stuck with me.
As a 5'4" woman who has only bench pressed 90 lbs. I must say I love this! I never once thought I could do everything guys can do. (Maybe because I've done so much camping...)
I have a term (that I hope catches on) and I call it FOLNO, Fact Of Life Number One (men and women are different).
But forgetting FOLNO is just one area where modern society pretends and trouble always brews when a society pretends. Examples:
-In the US we pretended that Black people are not people, instead pretending they were property like or horse or a cow leading to untold misery.
-The Nazis pretended that Jews were not people and tried to exterminate all the Jews of Europe. They didn't succeed but they did kill 6,000,000 or so.
-Currently the world is pretending that pre-born people are not people. Abortion is legal in most places. Don't want your baby? Just kill it. That's the attitude. I heard a (true?) story yesterday that said a woman in England aborted, i.e., killed her baby because it would have been born with a horrible birth-defect. The birth-defect? A cleft pallet.
Feel free to add to the list.
I have a hundred stories about Female Firefighters. Some of them not fit to tell. I will let you in on this one. A ssceretary at Fire headquarters applied to be a Firefighter. The difference in pay was thousands of dollars more than she was making as a secretary. She was appointed as a Firefighter.She went through the Training academy and was assigned to a Company. As time went on she soon discovered that Firefighting is a pretty tough job and she couldnt cut it,shw ent off sick with an injury and was assigned to light duties. Guess where? Thats right she is now right back with her old secretarial job, only now she is earning a Firefighters pay, and the Company Captain is glad to see her there.
Gender is a linguistic term (e.g. in French where words may be masculine or feminism) rather than a biological one. Leftists like this term because gender may be "constructed" (i.e. made to mean whatever you wish, which is where the notion of "transgendered" comes from), whereas sex is unavoidably biological.
Words matter, so conservatives who want to fight the good fight and win should avoid misusing the word gender when they really mean sex.
Although you are correct that women and men are different and cannot do the same things and should not in many instances. This case is quite different and has several other flaws that would have hampered "anyone" from doing the job, male or female.
First, the man was known to be a problem but according to the law he could not be handcuffed and had to change into street clothing. To do this the deputy, following orders, puts her gun in a locked drawer and then uncuffs him so he can change clothes. At this point, considering the guy knew martial arts and there is no gun, he could have taken on a man the same size as him. Second, there was no one else with her, my husband is a deputy and he will tell you that in those cases, two people should be guarding this guy, (as they are doing now only after he has wrecked havoc on Atlanta). Third, no one was watching the camera that was in place to help in the event of trouble(supposedly a safety net). And finally, the judge had asked for extra protection the day before but the sheriff or the powers in charge felt it okay to put only one person(and yes I say person considering the protocol of not having the guy cuffed at some point and his history) on this guy. This case, in my opinion, is a case of total ineptitude at the top and policy makers that are concerned about cuddling the criminal.
I cannot place the blame on this lady for the evil and mistakes of the perp and her bosses and policymakers.
I was absolutely APPALLED when I read that Nichols only had this one police officer guarding him, and that she was smaller than he! This is NUTS! There should have been two police officers with him at all times, especially in light of the fact that at one point his handcuffs were going to be removed. I'm frankly surprised he didn't kill her too!
democrat women should only be selected to guard men.
The gender of the cop is beside the point. The point is that violent offenders should be shackled hand and foot when they are outside their jail cells.
