Certain occupations can be equal in pay. But you cannot put a female onto the front line of Denver Broncos and expect the same results of a male. Just will not happen. Now, nurses in a hospital are equal, same with personal assisstants. Yet there are jobs that are meant to be filled by men and jobs meant to be filled by women. Sure, there are rare instances when cross over can occur, but that is very limited in scope. Can your average female become a roofer and do well in it? I don't know, but I think that type of job/career is more suited for a male. Same as a firefighter. I was watching a house burn a couple of doors down from my own house and observed the female fire fighter having trouble putting on her fire gear. It seemed to me that the jacket was bulky, heavy, and just hard for her to get on. Why was that? Could a man of the same physical build have had the same problem? IDK, but maybe the gal just wasn't equiped with the muscles she needed to do the donning of the jacket. JMTC
