Yo, mietla...*snap* WAKE UP.  The orignal contention that there were no strong women wasn't mine.  It was easymo's.  So direct your comments there.

Secondly, where did you get the numbers 5 or 13?  Let me guess you MADE THEM UP?  If you want to base your arguements on fantasy, well I guess there is no way I can refute them, and I'll leave them in the land of make believe.

For the rest of you.  Yes, ON AVERAGE men are, pound per pound, stronger then women.  And I never said differently, because it has absoufreakinglutely NOTHING to do with this arguement.  If you had been following it, you would have realised that is about the sub-set of females that DO have the physical strength to preform the duties of a firefighter.

Then firefighter strength tests shouldnt be changed as they have been lowered to make it easy for women to pass. Where are these strong women, why arent they protesting.

I completely agree with you.  

<edit> Like I said, in Ottawa anyway, we have standardized testing, I know of at least 2 women that have passed it.</edit>
