"Which, frankly, is why the example sucked. Because that sort of thing should be about the numbers. No one should be a firefighter if they can't carry someone out of a burning building. Many women can't, and many men can't either. "

I suppose I made the foolish assumption that people can add 2 and 2 for themselves and didn't need it explained to them that I don't approve of just any man being a firefighter because he's a man.

I will make sure to point out the obvious more often in the future.
