Gender equity means using the SAME crapper - no? It's a hit-or-miss proposition.

Why spend thousands for a new restroom when a five dollar lock would suffice?

"Democrat wants grants..." are the key words here...she is just another rabid feminist looking for a reason to justify her existence.

There are plenty...PLENTY...of firms, businesses, buildings with "unisex" restrooms around. In fact, the original gripe from the feminazis was the fact they couldn't use the men's room.

What she wants is the money, the publicity, and to get rid of the urinals. She's a democrat first, and a woman second.

I watched a show on TV one day. It was a Firefighters Rodeo kind of.

Games such as running up steps with hose , carrying weights up ladders, different things Fireghters are required to do turned into contests.

The thing that truly pissed me off was that there were two classes of participants, men and women. Now there arent two pay scales, they all get paid the same. That would mean that all are required to be able to participate together.fact is they cannot.

Standards have been lowered to bring in women. When you lower the standards you not only bring in the women who cannot meet the higher requirement, you bring in men who cannot meet them either.

Of course Chief Officers when interviewed will tell you that the women are doing great. They lie.
They know which side their bread is buttered on./
They know that if they say these women aren’t worth a sh*t that is the last promotion they will see. So: They lie.

What about a law that would some how make women fire fighters the physical equivalent of male fire fighters? Regardless of what PC a**hats say, the test given to women are not the same physical test given to the men. We have women fire fighters that are not capable of dragging out victims let alone their fellow fire fighters.

Fairness in Restrooms Existing in Stations (FIRE Stations) Act

If it weren't true it would make for a great stand up routine.

When it comes to laws we now have EVERYTHING on the books but the kitchen sink.....literally.

This is stupid. We have a $15 trillion dollar deficit. They can’t use the same bathroom? Do we ascribe to the Democrats’ belief that the Federal Government must solve every problem in the World?

Seems fair, when you consider the considerable effort and expense being expended to reduce the gender inequity in female-dominated professions: public school teacher, nurse, childcare worker, retail, etc.

Oh, wait ....

“Priority would also be given to stations that have chemical facilities, refineries or other high-risk industries”

Put women in risk, immediately. High priority. Understood.

It is all the rage right now to get women into the fire service.

I hear the same story over and over about them getting hired by answering all the questions just right in the interview board and then turning a quick 180 as soon as they are hired.

Basically we live 1/3 of our lives here together. Many fire stations still just have one large dorm room where everybody sleeps.

We are allowed to sleep at night when we are not on calls. So what do you sleep in if there are females in the same room? Everything but your shoes and socks? And you look like what when you get that 0230 EMS call?

So the story that is repeated over and over is the female comes in, destroys unit cohesion and moral and does exactly what she does or does not want to do under threat of sexual harassment complaints. Usually it falls to the “does not want to do” end of the spectrum. Names tarnished and careers ruined.

I am not a real big guy but I have been able to do everything I have been called upon to do in 24 years and have dragged out everyone I have been called upon to drag out.

We have had many women including some very athletic ones try the entrance test but they just do not have the upper body strength to get through the test. So we continue to lower the standards just so one day the powers that be brag to their buddies about having a female FF.

No matter what the cost.

rant off
