Actually,one of my arguments when I first got on the emergency response team and some of the bosses were reluctant to send a "small girl" to after-hours response in dangerous areas (North Philly, etc.) was appealing to basic fairness. I was complaining, "They won't allow women to be in combat and then say that aren't qualified for promotion due to lack of combat experience." I also pointed out that none of the guys on the team were particularly imposing either. Of course I was careful when I was out there on my own and even back then when the state didn't supply cellphones I had my own phone and AAA service that I paid for myself.
