Default Radical Feminism

Surfing around on the net I found a political forum, and someone made a topic about this. I read it and totally agree with him. I just copied it and pasted for you guys to read.

"So, watching some random documentary regarding feminism, I unfortunately was forced to watch one radical, whose views, in my opinion, were so disgustingly wrong that I.... nevermind, just look

Her points:
1. Firefighter strength tests should be lowered down so that more women can pass them. That way, more women can apply for jobs as firefighters.
2. Companies such as Sears should be forced to fulfill a quota of female workers.
3. Haircuts and cleaners should have an equal charge for men and women.

My counters:
1. This made me flip out. Even women who passed the strength test protested against this. You are telling me that, just because someone is born physically weaker than another, that person should be employed as a firefighter and be given a job where one's life is in serious danger? If YOU CANNOT CARRY THE HOSE TO STOP A FIRE (Regardless of gender), YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE A FIREFIGHTER. The strength tests were created so that one will have the strength when combating fires to carry a heavy hose and use it. However, radical feminists sue the firefighter companies for not employing enough women.
2. Sears asked many women to join them, but they refused, saying they did not want to have jobs selling lawn mowers. Radical feminists proceeded to sue Sears. So, these "feminists" actually want women to be forced into jobs they do not want? Oh great logic there, dumb***es.
3. Well guess what, in a haircut, the girl usually has more requests, more hair, and working on her is tough and must be done precisely. Therefore, why should the prices be equal if one requires more skill and aptitude, along with more determination? Females also tend to have more requests and want a perfect result at the cleaners, as well as the fact that some of the clothes consist of many materials. Therefore, once again, it takes more work to finish such a job and she should be charged more.

What do you think?"
