Fighting a fire requires more brains than muscle, which is why there are women firefighters today. However, firefighting is one of the most male-dominated fields that you can ever think of, since something as simple as calling someone a ‘firewoman’ needs a lot of getting used to when you compare it to how right it feels to call someone a ‘fireman’. Women grow up knowing that they are the weaker sex, and the role of the man is to protect her. Therefore, expecting a woman to respond to a fire emergency feels wrong, because a firefighter needs masculine qualities to survive.
