Isn’t diversity great? Now the rest of the team will have to work that much harder to make up for her demonstrated and proven inability to contribute her part to the firefighting and rescue effort.
Sadly this has been going on for many years, and is mostly kept out of the news due to the complicit liberal press. The stories I could tell.
Many a person has suffered or died as a result of incompetence in the EMS field whether it be fire, police, or rescue. Of course to announce that a problem exists would bring the PC police to try and suppress free speech to help keep the problem quite. This way they can continue to hire the dumb and physically weak, all in the name of diversity.
Yes, this is likely the second biggest problem here. The first being that she does not meet the minimum requirements for a job that clearly has a need for those requirements.
The second is that it will diminish the hard work the other female recruits put in to meet the requirements.
This is what pisses me off about the fire service. I have busted my ass for the past year to become a paid fire fighter. Applied, tested, interviewed, and every time I made it to the very end but I was not selected. So I work on my weaknesses and mistakes so the next time I can have a better chance at success. This is the **** that infuriates me. Incompetent people who cannot pass the tests, yet, they are still hired due to "diversity quotas". At the end of every job listing for fire fighter/EMT they may as well put "white males, need not apply".
In the Navy on a carrier that had turned coed, I was making my way down the ladder through the island to our ships office. Huffing and puffing and groaning was a female sailor trying to lug a portable submersible water pump up the same staircase. My first instinct was to help a fellow shipmate. I asked what her rate was and she said she worked in damage control. She said she had chosen that field because she believed that a woman could do anything a man could. I said drag that thing up the ladder by yourself and left.
I predict this idjit who was allowed to slide through training will be ostracized by her counterparts and not trusted to back her fellow firefighters.
Forced diversity breeds mistrust of the capabilities of your fellow workers.
Forced diversity also fuels the divide among the races/sexes.
It's not just the public sector though. It also exists in the corporate world.
I worked as a female software engineer and I had to think about "opportunities" that were offered to me...were they offered to me because I was female or were they offered to me because I was qualified ? I turned down some "opportunities" over the years because of that fear of becoming "one of them". And I openly talked about it with the guys I worked with. Many agreed with me.
Not only do others have to work hard to make up for her lack of ability, having her on the team puts any occupant of a burning building in danger, the firefighters in danger, and her in danger.
So, do we wait for something to happen, and then act surprised when a family sues? How stupid to let her go through. If you can't pass the test, you do NOT get hired.
Interesting that when a particular, well documented instance of the failure of enforced diversity is posted, no one can defend it.
The discussions of women in combat (and their inability to hump 100lbs of gear across 20 miles) went very differently. People really don't seem to be able to reason very well.
