Also, I had read that the very first Asian woman captain fireman was supposed to hook the water hose onto the truck, but she wasn’t strong enough to do it so she left a bunch of men choking in the smoke. When they finally came out, she was pretending to do busy work. I don’t know what happened after that but that’s a sickening story.
We see similar performances here, when police officers are dealing with riotous mobs: WPCs at the back, protected from harm by a wall of male colleagues, and darting hither and thither, trying desperately to look as though they are looking for a way into the melee but making no effort whatsoever to do anything to help. They'll share the praise and the honours though.
