Cleric supports forced sex and beatings on women

[charter.rights]

Would you rather a larger, stronger female officer getting into a physical altercation with some bulky boy instead? I would think the potential for injury--not only to him, but also to her--would be higher in that situation. I understand there have been questions about the safety of tasers. But, on the whole, it seems to me that they could potentially prevent serious injury that would otherwise be unavoidable. Further inquiry into their use needs to be done, but they seem to be a reasonable answer to prevent physical altercations.

Also, the point is about gender equality in employment standards. Setting the bar unnecessarily beyond the abilities of some women only serves to reinforce male dominance in those professions. The adjustment to the standards has not resulted in more injuries to cops, fire-fighters, paramedics or the public they serve; unless it is being covered up and we're not hearing about it. So, it doesn't appear that women getting into these professions now are unfit.

We don't need unfit cops regardless of their gender. Also, it is unfortunate that some people died because they were tased, so we need to look into their safety. If the taser is found to be safe in most circumstances, I think it's a very reasonable solution to getting into a physical altercation with an aggressive suspect.

Up until about 25 years ago there were weight and height restrictions to be police or fire personnel. They often automatically excluded women because most women were below those heights and weights. However, upon examination there was no need for that restriction since it was more important for weigh and height to be proportional instead of meeting a certain criteria minimum.

There were also requirements for mechanical aptitude or certain skill sets a minimum prerequisites for entering into these professions. They were of course the types of skills that could be taught on the job or gained from some other work experience.

It is entirely practical and reasonable to waive these kinds of requirements in order to tip the scales towards women entering into these professions. However, it does not discount that in many cases there are some physical issues that need to be dealt with for the individual's safety. The Charter of Rights and subsequent rulings by the ScoC have confirmed that it may in fact be necessary to tip the balance in order to dislodge male dominance (for the sake of male dominance) in any given career path. That is the law!

Thanks for elaborating on the unnecessarily part.
