I was wondering when women would take over firefighting.

I’m sure we’re all going to be a lot safer. If there’s one thing that stupid whores understand, it’s how to handle a hose.

LBC:

The term ‘fireman’ has been branded an exclusionary and sexist term that should be “erased from our vocabulary”, according to Greater Manchester’s chief fire officer.

Chief fire officer Dave Russel has said both ‘fireman’ and ‘firemen’ will no longer be tolerated as they represent a damaging “form of micro-aggression”.

Mr Russel said the term ‘firefighter’ should be used instead so that language is more gender-neutral.

In an email sent by Mr Russel, the fire chief said the term “regularly slips into every day vocabulary”, according to The Telegraph, and said use of the term goes “unnoticed and unchallenged”.

“Its connotation is sexist, exclusionary, and represents a form of micro-aggression that is damaging to our culture,” Mr Russel said.

“This needs to stop and the term permanently erased from our vocabulary. We employ firefighters, not ‘firemen’, and haven’t for decades, so why use the term?

“I am clear today that the use of this term will not be tolerated in GMFRS.”

He then told The Telegraph: “There is no reason for us to use language that minimises or overlooks the vital role anyone plays within our service.

“The importance of achieving the right culture and behaviour cannot be overstated.”

…

Other fire services across the country have taken similar the same stance in the past, including the London Fire Brigade, after former chief Dany Cotton slammed the term ‘fireman’.

Women are just as good as men, the only real difference is that they’re better at everything.

It’s really shocking that men are even allowed to have jobs anymore, given the competence level of women in all fields.

Any one of these women could get a job as a fireman if they wanted to

According to the logic of the US military, the solution to this problem is simple: we just need to have smaller fires that are not so hot.

Large, hot fires are a legacy of the patriarchy.

The Guardian:

Sofia Huston panted heavily as she pushed to close the gap between herself and the colleague in front.

Clad in bright yellow heavy-duty uniforms, hard hats and gloves, the crew trudged up “Cardiac Hill”, a grueling terrain south-east of Santa Clarita, in Los Angeles county, and so steep “you could kiss the ground in front of you”.

The 50-minute-long training session left Huston, who weighs 113lb and wears 45lb of line gear plus a 25lb chainsaw strapped to her back, exhausted beyond anything she’d felt before. “I could feel the fatigue literally in my womb,” the 23-year-old says.

Huston is a hotshot – a firefighter who battles wildfires. She hasn’t had a period in three years, something she attributes to the physical intensity of the job, and the brutal training sessions crews are put through.

“I know it’s because of this job. I know I’m a little bit leaner than is healthy,” she tells the Fuller Project.

“I think about how this will affect my chances of getting pregnant all the time,” she adds. “Not just because of my lack of period, but also hormonal issues – not to mention smoke inhalation, lack of sleep.”

Researchers do know that female firefighters – both volunteer and career – who make up approximately 8% of firefighters nationally, experience reproductive problems, including a higher rate of miscarriage, as well as increased mental stress caused by gender discrimination. A lack of access to properly fitting gear also puts them at risk of exposure to toxic chemicals. But a dearth of women in the force means few individuals to research, leaving major gaps in knowledge about how wildfire management affects their health, especially maternal health. These women, who are working in an already labor-intensive, frontline and dangerous industry, face an uncertain future with little knowledge about how this work could have negative effects on their reproductive health.

Women in Fire, an organization representing and advocating for women in the industry, including hotshots, is working to promote policies that would secure light duty for pregnant women and breastfeeding for new mothers, says its president, Amy Hanifan.

Amy Hanifan and some other useless women

When Hanifan, operations chief at the McMinnville Fire Department in Oregon, became pregnant seven years ago, she was concerned about how her work would impact the fetus. “I certainly did feel like there was a lack of information about being pregnant and breastfeeding,” she says.

Being a hotshot is one of the most physically demanding jobs in the US. Unlike stationed firefighters, more than 100 hotshots crews nationally, mostly based in the western US, travel throughout the country to tackle wildfires, sleeping outdoors, and working 16 hour-long shifts, for days in a row, with little time to eat or rest.

In an increasingly hotter climate, wildfire season has grown so long it’s now known as fire year, making the job even harder. Hotshot crews work more hours now and are under extreme stress. Many hotshot crews are all-male, and those that do recruit women often have just one or two on the team, making the experience an isolating one. There are no changing or restroom facilities out in the field, so women often change clothes in their sleeping bags.

In 1999, women made up around 2 percent of career firefighters. More than two decades later, the total number has limped to a measly 4 percent – excluding volunteers – compared with 12.8 percent of police and 31.7 percent of paramedics. The share of women firefighters is even lower than in the US Marine Corps, where women were legally excluded from combat roles until 2013.

Gina Allbright, a former hotshot based in Colorado, recalls nothing but good experiences during her 10-year career, but there was still little support for her to become a mother.

“When you get a dispatch, you leave and you’re gone for anywhere from 14 to 21 days out on the road,” Allbright explains. “You have two days off, then you repeat. And you do that for six months a year. You just can’t have a baby. Especially with the wildfire season getting longer, that would be impossible.”

Knowledge of how fire affects expectant mothers and breastfeeding women, and women’s bodies in general, is limited.

“Women are being failed by a system that is intrinsically built around, and for, men,” says Dr Sara Jahnke, the director and senior scientist at the National Development & Research Institutes, which focuses on public health.

…

Research Jahnke conducted in 2018 surveyed 1,821 women in the force. The report found 27 percent of firefighters’ pregnancies ended in miscarriage, while rates of pre-term birth were as high as 16.7 percent, higher than the national average of 10 percent.

…

For Huston, who has been fighting fires since she was 18, this season may be one of her last. Her next day off will come after a 31-day straight shift spent across Northern California and Oregon in triple-digit heat, on top of more than 200 hours of overtime.

“I know this is not sustainable. Honestly, I don’t know how much more my body can take.”

It is kind of sad, I guess.

Women used to be physically protected by men, and part of the sexual revolution was ending that protection – at least in theory, and sometimes in practice.

This has led some women to take on a literal “tough guy persona.”

Their shock at the fact that this isn’t working out is hilarious, but nonetheless, retarded.

One small step for Finland, one giant leap for Frontholekind.

Sputnik:

About ten percent of contract firefighters in the Nordic country are female. Some 30 women work as fire chiefs.

The small town of Sysmä in southern Finland has earned the distinction of becoming home to Finland’s first gender neutral fire station.

A key feature of Sysmä’s new fire house are individual dressing rooms and showers, which allows all firefighters to wash at the same time in private dressing and shower cabins and is seen as a capital boost to inclusion. Previously, women and men at the station used to take turns showering, a female firefighter recalled.

A shame that shower cabins can’t change the fact that the average grown woman is physically weaker than the average 12-year-old boy.

“We are planning this facility 40 years into the future. We believe fire stations will see more gender equality in the coming years”, Taneli Rasmus, former technical director in the municipality, told national broadcaster Yle.

Finland’s oldest fire stations date to the 1800s. At some, cleaning cupboards have been used as women’s changing rooms.

In 40 years, Finland’s either gonna look like the Third Reich or like Saudi Arabia.

None of this crap you’re doing right now will have any relevance whatsoever.

According to Mira Leinonen, who leads the Women in Fire and Rescue Services Commission, Finland has room for improvement in combatting exclusion. According to her, being excluded undermines group cohesion and diminishes work satisfaction, and international studies suggest these factors often spur women into leaving the profession.

“When a rescue operation is finished, the crew head straight to the shower, often discussing their last job. Women are excluded from these conversations”, Leinonen lamented.

Yes, that’s the reason why women can’t be firemen, because they can’t chit-chat in the showers.

“Women have to learn how to do pull-ups”

Imagine that people who actually say this kind of idiocy are allowed to vote.

However, there are other negative factors that allegedly discourage women from choosing firefighting as their occupation. The entire sector, Leinonen argued, rests on the male norm, which calls for a drastic change in structures, gear, and attitudes. For instance, petite women struggle wearing uniforms and gear specifically designed for men. Leinonen cited a female firefighter who even had a baby in a her uniform.

“Rescue services are for everyone, so it should be a priority for our personnel to reflect society as a whole”, Leinonen concluded.

Yep…

There’s really not much to say here except that you’re basically on your own.

Our Talmudized governments don’t give a shit whether you burn alive in a fire, get stabbed by an invader, or really anything other than arresting you for meanthink.

So learn how to take care of yourself and your family, plan in advance, coordinate with other people so you’re not completely on your own, because it’s only gonna get worse from here.

And get a good rucksack and fill it with goodies

Such hatred…

I can’t believe people still use reality and common sense as arguments in CURRENT YEAR.

Diversity is our greatest strength, no matter how many people burn alive because of it.

Breitbart:

London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton has demanded people stop using the word ‘fireman’, claiming that the term is putting women off choosing firefighting as a career.

London Fire Brigade’s first female commissioner, Cotton urged people show support for the service’s campaign, which seeks to encourage more women to take up the job, by using the hashtag #FirefightingSexism on social media and pledging to banish ‘fireman’ from their vocabularies.

Doesn’t this dumb bitch have better things to do? Like making babies and sandwiches?

Look how serious she looks, goyim.

“London is a complex and challenging city and it takes a diverse selection of skills, strengths and specialisms to protect it – qualities that both men and women possess,” stated the Commissioner, in a press release.

“I want to shake off outdated language which we know is stopping young girls and women from considering this rewarding and professional career.

“We owe it to tomorrow’s firefighters to challenge negative stereotypes today.”

In other words – you think people who get scared off by a word are fit to take up a job where they have to run into buildings on fire and drag people out of them. Smart!

General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union Matt Wrack said: “The FBU has been using the term ‘firefighter’ and not ‘fireman’ for decades and has consistently complained to print and broadcast media and programme-makers for using this archaic term that no longer represents our modern fire and rescue service.”

“We wholeheartedly welcome more women into the fire and rescue service because we believe that a diverse service should reflect the communities that firefighters serve,” he stated, adding that the FBU is “proud and pleased” to be a part of the programme.

Behind every incompetent affirmative-action woman, there’s a semi-competent cuck carrying her tampons.

Today we launch #FirefightingSexism because the term fireman is outdated & no one has had that job title since late 80s. Using it projects that the work we do is only for men, which is wrong https://t.co/DZTbw7ombc pic.twitter.com/rb9soRA06B

Also supporting the campaign to remove “firemen” from the English language was London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said: “Sexism, or any kind of discrimination, has absolutely no place in London – including the capital’s Fire Brigade – and I fully support this fantastic campaign.

“With the UK’s first ever woman fire commissioner at the helm, London’s Fire Brigade is leading the way in breaking down the stereotypes, removing the barriers to women in the workplace, and becoming as diverse and inclusive as the city it serves,” he added.

See, unlike the bitch and the cuck, the raghead has a much clearer objective than just virtue signaling – complete destruction of what was once the heart of a great civilization, a process in which this is just a small step. That’s what the jews put him mayor for in the first place.

In March, Commissioner Cotton used her first newspaper interview after taking up the role of London’s fire chief to insist that people’s continued use of the term “fireman” is behind women being less likely than men to want to join the fire brigade.

“Why did they have to go for Fireman Sam? What’s wrong with Firefighter Sam?”The Guardian quoted her as saying. “We have to change that perception of a six foot hairy-arsed bloke who can kick a door down.”

Kicking down a door is an important part of the job you stupid cunt. Along with carrying someone who’s unconscious, going up the stairs with a ton of equipment and all the other stuff that almost no woman on the planet can do as good as the average teenage boy.

Six-foot hairy-arsed blokes are the types you want as firemen because they’re the ones who can actually do the fucking job right.

The government has made reducing the percentage of white men employed in the fire service a top priority, after Prime Minister Theresa May last year launched a fierce attack on the “lack of diversity” among fire brigade staff.

In recent weeks, the Home Office has attacked a number of fire brigades for employing too many white men in their ranks.

Good. I’m one of those “the worst things are, the better” types. And it is known that the fewer White men an institution has, the less efficient it is.

So fewer White firemen=more death and destruction all around, which is what we need nowadays.

A government report in September slammed Essex Fire Service as “toxic”, with a “masculine ethos”, and demanded that the service “now seek to embrace the need for greater diversity and difference as a high priority”.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Looks like we’ll be getting the death and destruction I’ve been hoping for.

I’m happy about it.

Really happy.

Let it burn.

LET IT ALL BURN!

LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY!
