Any job a woman CAN'T do?

[teke4life]

i've never seen a female bouncer, or a collector for a loan shark. those seem to be pretty male dominated jobs. oh, i don't think that women can be in the mafia either. my uncle used to also own a junk yard, and i can't remember ever seeing a woman in there.

and why are they all guys that do the nature shows? are marty stouffer and jacques costeau misogynists? well, there is the croc hunter's wife, but she's more of a co-star.

Don't be an ass. My roommate is a valet and she is the top person in her division. She's the only one that has never had even a minor accident.

hey, that's super. Maybe she should go faster than 40 clicks/hour.

Women cannot be test patients for certain medications.....

I take offense to that. As a 5'6", 100 pound girl, I am lighter and faster than any one else on the team. Instead of having to worry if I can weather the tackles, I dodge them.

Most of the girls on the team aren't very manly, tall, or heavy.

Yeah, well NYC is different. I think Chicago is the same too.

Actually, there is a big push in the city and suburbs to get female firefighters on board. Many towns are trying to recruit women, but not having much luck, namely because female fire science students are still few and far between.

I remember overhearing it in an episode of 'Third Watch' -- it wasn't said by the firefighters but by the police in a FDNY/NYPD basketball game. (On the other hand, NYPD has other less flattering names to call the FDNY: "Rubbermen" and the "Red Menace". That was well before 9/11 though.)

people around here definitely do not say "fidney". sounds kinda dumb.

what do you mean "rubbermen" and "red menace"?????

I have worked as a female "bouncer," (really i work the door checking ID's and taking cash) and I am only 131 lbs. The guys that come through the club always tell me I look intimidating, lol. I have never had any problems.

Now as far as security that patrols the club, I have never sen any females except female cops.

I *should* know better... after all I'm a native Noo Yawker, even though I live in Texas!

"Rubbermen" and "red menace", as well as 'fidney' are less-than flattering names given by Noo Yawk's Finest to their companions in Noo Yawk's Bravest -- usually not within earshot of 'em, except during the annual FDNY/NYPD football or basketball games
