Female 'firefighter' can't break down door

[madfranks]

If you and your family burn to a crisp while little miss firefighter can't get through your door, you can still die with a smile on your face because you stood up to the patriarchy and let women be equals!

not only phyz tests - i just read an article from same region about the written test results too. white males must score higher to 'pass' than their women and vibrant competitors

affirmative action gets people killed -- cops, fire, doctors, nurses, etc. will merit ever return?

In Shitcago, the merit pics are the incompetent, the suck asses, the exam cheaters, the spouses of the top brass.

I'm sure she'll try harder when she's trying to get into your locked door to save you when your house is burning.

If any of our houses burn, they will evacuate the neighborhood and listen to the pops a long ways away.

So I just watched the video.

I don't understand the "exercise". Why run full speed into a "door"? In a real situation no one would. They are not in full gear. No axes in hand. Are doors in the UK weighted? Why not smash the door lock with the axe and swing the door?

Then you add in the Hollywood movie clip.

The whole video was a bunch of BS.

I did like this article.

Woman who failed frontline infantry fitness test was given a 'pass' by the Army until furious male soldiers who HAD completed course staged rebellion

A female soldier was allowed to continue on an Army selection course even though she failed a vital fitness test – triggering a rebellion among male troops who had passed.

Corporal Daisy Dougherty was hoping to become one of the Army’s first female infantry instructors following the landmark decision last year to let women join combat units and Special Forces.

The first stage in the selection process required her to prove her fitness by completing an eight-mile march in under two hours over arduous terrain while carrying a heavy pack and a rifle.


Despite being a qualified personal fitness trainer and a member of the Army’s athletics squad, the 29-year-old took too long to finish the challenge. Under course rules, she should have been immediately ejected and sent back to her unit.

But Cpl Dougherty – the only woman on the course – and 14 others who also failed were told they could carry on, sparking a furious backlash among the 75 soldiers who passed the test.

The soldiers rounded on commanders at the Infantry Battle School in Brecon, Mid-Wales, accusing them of lowering standards to suit women. When top brass refused to back down, troops contacted The Mail on Sunday to expose what they claimed was ‘positive discrimination’.

Fearing a public backlash if they allowed her result to stand, commanders backed down and asked Cpl Dougherty and the other soldiers who failed the march to leave.

Last night, a soldier on the course said: ‘The blokes were livid because it is written in black and white in the course handbook that if you fail the march, you’re pulled off the PSBC [Platoon Sergeants’ Battle Course] immediately. There is no review.

‘Commanders wanted to get Cpl Dougherty through the course, almost at any cost, even if she wasn’t fit enough and even if that meant leniency being shown to weaker male soldiers who also failed the march. We couldn’t believe they were still on the base and attending classes. It took a revolt among the troops and some people going to the Press to get this stopped.’

Well said, Osoab. That video was BS. Anyone who tries to break down a door that way, in real life, is likely to get injured. There's tools, that both men and women, can use. A fire ax, or a halligan bar ideally.

My go to tool off the engine on a call, was the halligan.

I'm all up for pro men anti-feminist points, but this thread is ridiculous.
