firefighting

What a useful arrangement for men; they have forceful women to undertake the tasks which they find distasteful and have thereby removed women as competitors from tasks that are more to male tastes. But they have gone even further than this for, not only have they failed to pay women for their labour, they have insisted that women undertake these tasks because they want to, because they like it, because it is 'natural' to them. One wonders why it should be 'natural' in woman to do so many disagreeable things. Does the average man really believe that she has an instinctive and unquenchable craving for all the unpleasant and unremunerative jobs?'
