Timbuktou:


1. Actually, my points are laid bare. You're the one who's been dancing around them Atilogwu-style.

2. Ok, only physical standards? Or there are no women who would do better than some men? I think you should be saying standards should not be lowered. Simple.

3. Aww. How cute, yet you support the structure that brings such things to fruition. I doubt you've ever paid any money to a lawyer to debate triviality because a womyn is having hormonal imbalances. Do you think a businessman or employer would pay $270k for employment consultancy because he just feels like it? That money could have gone into growing that business or just saving it for the rainy day. Anyway, moving on.

4. Tell that to Wax's employer who was faced with a government-sanctioned, feminism-inspired litigation if Wax so felt. Ah, this is getting boring.

5. In those fields, women not being employed was precisely because they did not qualify for those jobs. End of story. Nobody is targeting anybody. If anything employers are looking for people to help them achieve the goals of their organisation. Whether they are men or women is totally irrelevant.


By the way: have this for your condition. It's not easy to shout on the internet. It takes a lot to press that caps lock. kiss Thank me later kiss kiss

PS: couldn't find water. Use your spit.

Even when I agree with you still want to bite my head off. I think I have clarified my position if you want to argue with yourself feel free.

MrsChima:

You mentioned what they were testing?

I guess you are feigning ignorance of what has been discussed
The test comprises a written n a physical
The written was passed by the lady
The physical test is as follows..

The grueling test requires potential recruits to climb six flights of stairs in full gear and drag dummies through tunnels with little visibility, among other tasks, and it’s to be completed in under 18 minutes, according to the Post.

New York residents una well done o

[b]Despite failing a required FDNY running test
five times, Wendy Tapia was allowed to
graduate from the Fire Academy and become a
firefighter. On Dec. 2, she is taking the test for
an unprecedented sixth time.
Tapia was one of only five women among 285
new firefighters who graduated from the
FDNY’s Randall’s Island training academy on
May 17.
The class was hailed as the most diverse group
of rookies ever, all of them EMTs or
paramedics seeking promotion to firefighter.
She joined a group of just 35 women among
the 11,000 Bravest.
But Tapia, 31, has yet to work a shift at her
firehouse, Engine No. 316 in East Elmhurst,
Queens, where she was assigned May 18.
At the end of 18 weeks of probationary
training, Tapia failed to run 1¹/₂ miles in 12
minutes without gear, as required by the
academy. She blamed a foot injury.
The FDNY let her graduate anyway — and gave her five more deadlines
over the past six months to pass the running test.
She failed all five times, insiders said.
Normally, probationary firefighters who fail the running test at the end of
academy training don’t graduate — period. They flunk out but can join
the next academy class, start over and get another chance to pass the
course.
Tapia’s treatment has inflamed male and female colleagues alike.
“I don’t know how she got to graduate. It never should have happened,” a
female firefighter told The Post. “You should not graduate if you can’t
meet all the requirements — male, female, black or white.”
After graduation, instead of joining fellow firefighters in the field, Tapia
went on medical leave from May 20 to June 10 to recover from her foot
injury. She then went on light duty until July 2, reporting to FDNY
headquarters in Downtown Brooklyn.
She “reports to work . . . wearing our uniform? F- -KING JOKE!” one
firefighter fumed on an online rant site.
Tapia returned to full duty — but was sent back to Randall’s Island for
extra help.
“They put so many resources into training just her,” an insider said.
“Every time she fails, she has a different excuse.”
Tapia failed the running test once in August, once in September and three
times in October, said sources familiar with her situation.
In her last try, on Halloween, she clocked a 12:23, still too slow.
But FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano gave Tapia another break
after United Women Firefighters (UWF), a fraternal group of active and
retired FDNY women, intervened to block her potential firing. They said
she had an upper respiratory infection.
But suffering a cold is no excuse, the female firefighter said.
“We have to do our job in all types of situations,” she said. “If I go to a
fire, what am going to do — tell the guys I’m staying out by the engine
because I’m not feeling so good? It’s 100 percent unheard of.”
She said FDNY brass, under pressure from a court order to hire more
minorities, “want their numbers — that’s all it is.”
But that does female firefighters no favors, she added.
“It’s making us look bad. It’s undermining everything we’ve strived for
and achieved of our own accord,” she said.
Another insider said it also undermines confidence in the Fire
Department.
“If someone’s life is hanging on the line, you only get one try. There’s no ­
do-overs when it’s for real,” the insider said.
Tapia was “unavailable for an interview,” the FDNY said.
A spokesman said Tapia “successfully completed every requirement to
graduate from the academy except the run — which she was unable to do
after sustaining a work-related injury. We have provided her time to
recover from her injury and will test her again on Dec. 2[/b]

Quota brigade. How market?

Where is the feminist outrage on this issue? Nowhere to be seen. The time and money spent on this guinea-pig would have served millions more deserving of it. But no, it is wimmin's rights issue. I have to bend over to prove your competence. Imagine the entitlement. Do you know this woman resigned soon after, even though she never worked one day and was paid for all the time she was in the "employ" of the FDNY. In fact, why not just put it up here!

The CommonWealth Squanderer Quits
[b]The female FDNY probie who was allowed to graduate from the Fire Academy without passing a required running test has quit. Wendy Tapia, 31, resigned Thursday after trying again — her sixth attempt — to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less, officials said. “She didn’t make the 12-minute cutoff,” an FDNY spokesman said. “She’ll return back to EMS ranks.” Tapia was one of five women among 285 new firefighters who graduated from the FDNY’s Randall’s Island training academy on May 17. The class of EMTs and paramedics was hailed as one of the most diverse ever. She was assigned to Engine No. 316 in East Elmhurst, Queens, but never worked a shift. After recovering from a foot injury, she went on light duty and continued training for the run. She failed it five times, last on Halloween, clocking 12 minutes 23 seconds. Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano, at the behest of United Women Firefighters, a group of active and retired FDNY women, gave Tapia another chance to pass the test on Dec. 2. But on the heels of a Post article on her special treatment, Tapia tried again early, and then threw in the towel. “It’s really not about her, it’s about preferential treatment,” said Paul Mannix, president of Merit Matters, a firefighter group that opposes hiring quotas. “People are encouraged that she won’t be fighting fires, not because she’s a woman, but because she couldn’t meet the standards[/b]

What do you expect?
Women pleasers are on the increase everyday. Wasting money is the very least they could do. Overturning the entire recruitment process is more like it.
And someone somewhere thinks i will take a reta.rded movement seriously.
If we didn't get to to the top of the evolutionary ladder by quota or entitlements from nature it is only fair that we follow the working blueprints as we advance as a race.

Want something? Earn It

Abeg, I'm outta here. Dropped too many IQ points for one day.

From what I understand, the special treatment was just for her, don't you think we should look at it from another angle, than the angle of being a woman? I won't have the same opinion if the same treatment of being special was meted to other women.

If the tendency to be abused is similar - i dare say higher - compared to other methods then it should be scrapped and the more natural award based on merit installed in its place.


Quota ignores the requirements. If a requirement is ignored of what purpose is it to the entire system?
Are you by any means saying that being a woman is akin to being handicapped?
People with disabilities are in another world of their own and if i were to be blunt i would say yes! if their disabilities hamper their performance then there's little to be done in that regard. Merit should be encouraged not mediocrity.



That more than thousands of years of portfolio building rubbished by a single simple word such as generalization.
It is indeed a track record.

Appeal to pity huh?
Is my nationality and the fraud tag going to stand in the way of my performance?
If they believe it to be so then a more stringent method of scrutiny can be applied to my situation. Nobody will kick you out for being a woman if you aced the final interview. Any thing contrary to that is a white lie. Like I said it will be difficult but it is still fair.
There are tests that are in place in recruitment exercises and everyone should be made to go through them with similar benchmarks set. If your history impedes your success it is only logical that you up your ante. Yes it would get tougher than others but at the end you are vindicated. Prove your mettle and no one will 'discriminate' against you.

Where you've proven yourself and that fraud tag prevents you would you consider it fair? The study I posted here showed that even where females would help make better teams their input was ignored simply because they are female. That is not any kind of portfolio difference that is pure and unadulterated bias. Even you have that bias so how can the competition be fair?
