firefighters have a physical admissions test. among other practical obstacles, they typically must be able to scale a regulation pool fence unassisted, which is usually 6 ft. and they must be able to bash down a door. some men are just too small to complete both, so about 40% of men fail at least one of the physical tests. but 99%+ of women fail at least one of these physical tests.
so many districts have started removing physical tests entirely to get their diversity numbers up though. the fireman carry used to be 200 lbs because the average male weighs 200 lbs and the average female weighs 170 lbs. this means if you can carry 200+ lbs, you can single handedly carry 70%+ of the population. this test has gradually been reduced to only 160lbs, and in many areas, women can get a waiver. in other words, they cannot lift even 40% of the population, and can get a waiver for one of the fundamental requirements of the job. these women are a liability.
DEI in emergency services is fucking retarded. if a woman can do it, fine. if she can't, she needs to GTFO. a burning building doesn't give a fuck... they're going to get people killed.
