Campus paper article: "Feminists lose sense of objectivity"

Article here. Excerpt:

"In one of the most popular cases of the new feminist agenda, the New York City Fire Department was sued by a woman who claimed that the physical examination to become a firefighter was too taxing for women. She won. The FDNY was forced to create new physical testing tailored toward women so that they may be allowed easier access to the profession. Here, the goal of feminists to kill objectivity is clear. They are not concerned that tests of that nature are specifically devised to make sure, for example, that one would have the ability of pulling a 200-pound man out of a building and down a ladder. To these feminists, the safety of citizens was second to gender representation."

This is definitely affirmative action run amok. I'm all for different races and genders in the work place, provided they're capable of doing the job. What we have now is a double standard where women who are incapable of performing certain tasks are still hired. I wonder how many poor people are going to lose their lives as a result of this blatant pandering to feminists. Why can't women accept that men are usually better suited for jobs with physically daunting tasks? We have to accept the fact that women carry the babies, and have the sole choice as to whether or not the children they carry will be born or not. It's something that has to do with anatomy. They have to deal with it.

I guess they don't want the fire departments, to be over-populated by ugly hairy lesbians who shoot testosterone, HGH, steroids, and who knows what else.
