Women in the fire service(honest opinion)
Hola,
Just wanted to get some honest feed back about how men feel about having women serve as FF. Please be very honest! The reason for this is:
1. I have witnessed society feels women can't do this job- we are to fragile , etc.
2. People think women that work around a bunch of men must be easy or having relations with at least one of the them
3. Sexual harrassment issues arise more often
4. Some men have trouble taking orders from a woman (or vice versa)
These are just a few of the things I have seen or heard about.. Please share y you feel this way

Hmmm comparing a man at a "passion party or baby shower" to a woman in a fire....??? Sounds like someone here has missed the point...I have had days that I didn't think that I belonged there....and that was no passion party either..... 8)

10-4 Spence:
I am filing this one under "Flicka".
And I'm moving my pin over to the "Out" column on this subject.
Last post on this one or any that are a reasonable facsimile thereof.
TCSS.
