Did policewomen have Dads who really wanted a son?

I work in a large urban department and some of these women we get are real wimps and you find that dear old Dad really wanted a son. What are your thoughts on this?|||A LOT of women are drawn to law enforcement because they have a desire to help people. It's always why women dominate the social work industry as well. So, no, most policewomen are there because it's what they are passionate about. It has nothing to do with who or what their dad wanted.





Peace,


Jenn|||It's definitely possible that the disappointment these women feel from their fathers made them want to do a "manly" job, but it's quite a stretch to extend that to all female police officers!


I know for a fact that my dad is happy I'm here and his daughter, and I've always thought being a police officer would be a great job, and that I could help and protect people. I chose to be a stay at home mother to my child, though, so maybe that will never happen! And that's fine.


Plenty of strong, non-wimpy women officers are out there, and there are also quite a few balding, out of shape, sad sack male officers...


Let's just leave the generalizations out of it.

Do you thick policewomen join the police force to look macho cause they really wanted to be a man?

I would like and honest opinion from all you police women.|||many women hire on cause they no they get a easy ride.they use their attributes to advance in ranks.i have never heard of any macho thing.most women will deny they get it easy.if they have integrity they will admit the truth.


------retired texas deputy sheriff------|||The majority of them, no, but there are a few wanna be's, and there a lot of instances when a female cop is required, I don't think you'd want a male cop patting down your sister or wife. Oh, I'm not a police lady, so I guess my opinion doesn't count.|||You aren't interested in our opinions, you are using Y!A as a soapbox to spout your misogynistic rants.

Starting a family help!? fireman and policewoman.?

So ive been dating my boyfriend for many years now and im a policewoman and hes now becoming a fireman. I wanted to start a family and i know it would of been hard enough with my odd shifts and moods from this job, but now also from him. I was wondering if anyone else had two partners in the service and how did you find it and how did you find starting a family? We dont have much time for eachother, but we understand that. But i really want to start a family.|||If you don't have much time for each other now, you'll have no time after a baby. Any spare time you have will go to the baby. Also, do you have time now for a child? They require so much. How will your moods affect the baby? This may come down to you making a choice, career or baby. If you can get yourself on regular hours with less stress, then start thinking about this. Not trying to be flippant with saying this, but do you have a dog? If not, get one. Not one that's left in the backyard and gets ignored except when you feed him. A house dog that you take for walks, have to get home to get them out of the crate, play time, training, etc. When you go on a trip, have to arrange a dog sitter. It may prove to be an eye opener on what you can give to a baby right now. Good luck, I hope you can find your balance.

Isn't it nice Obama did not say the Ft.Hood policewoman acted stupidly yesterday?

Nevertheless she shot someone of middle eastern descent so I guess by the Obama administration standards, she's racist. Maybe Obama can smooth things over by serving more beer.|||Good one|||wow gus...what an intellectually stimulating "question"|||Does lying make you feel better?|||Good thing the guy was a Muslim doctor and not a Black Harvard professor! That lady cop would be hearing it from Obama right now!|||I'm still expecting Obama to apologize to the Islamic community for allowing a woman to put down a muslim man.|||I hope you feel ashamed of asking that and making light of a tragedy.|||yes|||Your fear, hate and misinformation identify your political party affiliation.

The UK policewoman who refused to shake hands because it is against her faith?

Is this cultural or just rude. It is an issue in that she is in a job that may involve her touching someone, an extreme case being her needing to give mouth to mouth rescusitation to a male. If her cultural and religious beliefs mean that she cannot even shake hands then why take on a job that does involve arresting/handling/touching other people. Shaking hands is a sign of good manners in the UK and I feel that should also be respected. I would like to understand how this contradiction can be squared with her religion|||If she made it clear from the beginning that her faith does not allow her to touch a man then she should not have got the job.The whole thing is ridiculous.|||I don't believe she understands her own religion. There is an injunction in Islam to be reasonable in all things.|||She needs to change her occupation, the police service is a 'hands on' job for all concerned.......... no exceptions.|||She can have the job because it not only tops up the police's requirements for other religions and races on their database but also, because this woman would then take them to court (whilst our hard earned taxes pay her legal aid) and sue us for shed LOADS of money because we are apparently racist for not giving her a job which she cannot completely fulfil anyway!!!!





And we have to fight to wear religious crosses to work in jobs we can fully fulfil!!!!!!





B*****KS!!!!|||People who adhere to weird cultural/religious practices like this shouldnt be allowed to do jobs like this. If u can't shake someone's hand, then get another job, don't expect Policing pratices just to change for you. Selfish Cow|||I'm not racist at all but, if any person who lives in this Country is not prepare to follow the rules of this Country (whether religious or not) they should go back or take a different job. It's "others" that make people racist. Can you imagine a nurse saying that due to his/her religion cannot touch a patient? Imagine if that was a child?? Those religions are man made, they are there to satisfy a creator; who usually is still alive.|||It wouldn't have happened in my day.





What you young, tolerant, "multicultural" people need to realise is that YOU GET THE COUNTRY YOU DESERVE.





Winston Churchill must be turning in his grave.|||not heard about this one but don't know of any culture ,religion etc thing it may be one of these phobia thingys so give her space whats the big deal who knows were your hand has been don't blame her ...only kidding but it might be a phobia ...and she needs help not condemnation|||yes you are right, i think its bad manner's too, weather its against her faith or not i would be very much offended, its bogus, these people who follow Islam expect we just put up with there beliefs, i respect there beliefs but they do not respect us, and every time we say sum thing that they do is not right, they scream sum form of racism it is wrong but because we live in a democracy they use this to there advantage, but what would happen if we went to a islam country and kept to our way of life, we would probably get stoned to death, we need to get to grips with situation because the more they get away with the more they will do it, they want to take over this country we cant let that happen|||The individual in question has been notified that if her faith prevents her from carrying out ANY aspect of her duties then she will be fired.


This is completely legal even though the grounds are religion.





As to her refusal to shake hands with the senior officer when she 'passed out', this was rudeness quoting religion as an excuse.





The ONLY reason it was allowed was because the senior officer did not want to cause a scene on a day that is very important in any Police Officers career.


However someone decided that in this time of racism and anti-religion being in the news, this piece would show how petty some people of any faith can be.





As a vegetarian I will not work in a Slaughter House or a Butchers. That way I will not have to do things against my personal taste or moral view.


If my religion meant I could not touch men, I sure as Hell (or the Muslim equivalent), I would not get a Job with any physical contact.


She obviously gained the position by using her race and religion to force the Police Authority into employing her.


I really hope that her first call involves arresting a man who has to be restrained, because she would not be able to touch him - instant dismissal!


Some people don't use the brain they were born with (God given or not!)|||To help you understand, why not ask a question and perhaps a Muslim person would answer for you.
