Reply to comment by felixrojo in FDNY ranks in 'turmoil' after commissioner demotes chiefs, high-ranking officials step down by nyujoe

You know why it’s predominantly male? Because 99% of women cannot carry a 200 lbs person in a fire. Let the women pass the same physical test and we are cool! Also most girls don’t say they want to be a fireman when they grow up.

Fire doesn’t discriminate based on genders

So why can't a woman work in a managerial role? Very likely her job will not entail moving people.

Also, I wonder if more women could be firefighters if Americans weren't such fatties :(
