I would like to hear examples of the tests that were only used to discriminate
against women. The only example I've heard so far, doing pushups, sounds very
relevant to me. I think it is important for a firefighter to be able to pick
up someone overcome by smoke and carry them out. Or to use an axe and break
down a door when searching for victims, etc.
