God, only dirty liberals would abandon their ethics for something as insignificant as not dying. If you let a little burning building that has you trapped inside get to you, what else will you cave into? <i>Probably terrorists, that's what.</i> Hey, think I could get that comment printed in the Daily Mail? Also, may the next firefighters this woman meets by a strapping young woman and a man who looks like a librarian. SHE HAS TO STAND BY HER PRINCIPLE, RAN. God, only dirty liberals would abandon their ethics for something as insignificant as not dying. If you let a little burning building that has you trapped inside get to you, what else will you cave into? Probably terrorists, that’s what.

Hey, think I could get that comment printed in the Daily Mail?

Also, may the next firefighters this woman meets by a strapping young woman and a man who looks like a librarian.

My favorite part is when she asks, "Face it, ladies, if you were trapped in a burning building would you rather be rescued by a strapping bloke or a woman who looked like a librarian?" Since when does "man" = "strapping bloke" and "woman" = "woman who look[s] like a librarian"? Has this woman never once taken a step outside the romance novel she apparently lives in?

"I applaud female advancement, but when it comes to real power...", or "it's not that I take issue with female success, but...". "I applaud female executives...but when it comes to absolute power..." I hope her daughter doesn't turn out like her, but with her and her husband both reinforcing the male female hierarchy, the outlook is not so good. I agree with you on the Daily Mail, it's not exactly Pulitzer-level journalism.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Sounds like something out of the 19th century anti-suffragette movement. I really want that woman to realize her own full potential, even to pull a man out of a burning building. Now I need some deep breathing to lower my blood pressue. “Ewwww” kept spewing from my lips as I read this. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
