Gloria Steinem is so eager for poor/nonwhite women to be firefighters that she opposes fire company screening procedures to test whether applicants are strong enough to carry an unconscious adult out of a burning building, and she claims it’s safer for a firefighter to drag an unconscious person on the floor by his ankles: “It’s better to drag them out, because there is less smoke down there. I mean, we’re probably killing people by carrying them out at that height, you know, so – I mean, you know, we need to look sensibly here at these jobs and what they really require, and not just some idea of what macho is.”

Further deepening what you and Maggie said, those same feminists then ignore the women who are in those “acceptibly dangerous” jobs due to latent class (and race, in some cases) issues they don’t want to acknowledge.
