Firefighter Eligibility Requirements
Ah, why would it? No where does it indicate physical requirements under eligibility. When have you ever known women to be required to do the same physical endurance as males? Women have their guidelines, and men have theirs. Men and women are not the same, even though some feminists insist on believing so. Do you think there are women that could play for the NFL as well?

Besides being a kicker, I think it is to be determined but more and more girls are starting to play football. I knew a girl in high school that played football though I think she stopped before college.

You and I know that but a lot of people that think that way do not get the idea of that nor do they when it comes to rape. Just look at the republicans who say that women can will themselves to not get pregnant after being raped.

Equality has come at the cost of civility.

I still open the door for my wife, walk on the outside to protect her, and make a sincere effort to let her know I love her every chance I get. I guess I'm a dinosaur, but I'll never stop opening doors or yielding my place in line for a woman.
You are not a dinosaur; you are a gentleman. Liberals could learn from you (but they won't, because they trash that kind of politeness, regarding it as "patriarchal," male dominance.

Exactly! What I said. I consider my wife, special, and deserving of such treatment. I adore women, and I also admire them.

But, if you believe women can play for the NFL, then surely they have the physical capabilities to fight off any perpetrator? Women are physically equal right?

Not all women can be NFL players, I never said that. There are some who could play football if they wanted to. There are some who are, just like there are men who are as physically gifted as the average woman.

Because the military doesn't have a need for them to do so.
