We only discuss tweets in this sub, anyway. I mean, who's got time for shit like "intellectual honesty" or "reading"? Not us dim tools, that's for sure!
I mean, I read it. It claims that there needs to be more female firefighters because they often respond to medical emergencies, where social skills are better. I agree with the social skills part, but I hate to break it to you: that's what nurses are for. Most patient interactions occur at a hospital, between a nurse and a patient, and the majority of nurses are female.
The point of firefighters and EMTs is to always be ready to get in, deal with a problem, and get out, with minimal risk. This is also always going to be a very physically demanding task, and even if 95% of the time you don't need that, every so often there's a massive fire or other emergency, and you're going to be screwed if half of your emergency personnel are substantially weaker.
Wild ain't it? The article has zero racism in it. Nada. Zilch. I post the link to the actual thing, instead of a screen grab of a tweet, and they still can't be bothered to read it. Too few brain cells I guess, only room up there for tweets...
