That still doesn't carry the hose up the ladder, or carry a fallen firefighter out of the building.

The women also have lowered strength requirements for the armed services.

Dude posted this Why not things like police, fire, teaching, military, garbage collection and so forth?

I recalled an interview that I saw over a decade ago that featured a one of those professions. I said feminist because that was how the person was identified by both the interviewers and herself.

I'm sorry if this somehow shits all over your Wheaties and ruined your day.

I meant to use it. That was how she identified herself.

My anecdote directly related to people complaining about there not being enough female firefighters, which the parent asked about. This was also featured on 60 minutes or some other such news show, and I believe also featured a lawsuit that was filed to lower the "discriminatory" tests.

your anecdote came out of nowhere to feature a pervert friend of yours that writes bad erotic incest fiction. What's your point?

Why would I want someone else to be my penis?

Even if I didn't have a penis, there are plenty of attachments that I could purchase to perform the needed tasks.

Silicone doesn't float?

Of course, naturally talented women should float to the top no problem.

If I were to look at this list as a 22 year-old, why would I go into IT except for a misplaced love of programming?

How many 22 year old women have a misplaced love of programming?

When it comes to acting, I think the unions have a lot to do with that. Don't you actually have to already have some credits to your name before you can join the SAG, and don't you need to be in the SAG in order to get any work in Hollywood?

I remember a feminist complaining that the strength test for the city's fire department was too much for women to handle. The strength test consisted of carrying a hose, chopping down doors, and other things that firemen have to do in their job. When asked what good a woman that could not do the job would be on the crew, she stated that they would just need to get machines to do the work instead so that women could join.

While that is unfortunate, just because it happend to you, doesn't mean it's going to happen to everybody.

Anecdotal evidence is the same thing that anti vaxxers use to explain why vaccines are bad. Their kid got sick, so vaccines are bad for EVERY kid. That's not how it works.

While yes, there is a non zero chance that your kid could be kidnapped (whether they are alone or not, even if they are home), it is also entirely possible that a lion could escape from the local zoo and wind up in your living room. Do you have a rifle capable of taking down large game? Should I find you irresponsible if you do not?

yet they'll close out my account and ban me for life without ever even telling me why...

Anybody can purchase Glass right now, there is no applying to buy anymore.

It says that it's in Beta, but isn't google notorious for just leaving things in beta? Wasn't GMail in beta for like, a decade or so?

I'm color blind. I could make a patch cord, it would probably work, but don't expect it to have the right color patterns...

Are they patenting a specific sensor apparatus here, or is it just raising your hand? I could understand if it's a specific type of sensor, but patenting something like raising your hand is ridiculous. Especially when we had non tactile motion controls on mainstream things like the PS2 as far back as 2003. If this is just a gesture, how in the hell does that warrant a patent?
