Men Die Because Female Police are Physically Incompetent

Dear Mr. Hawkins,

The Feminists do a lot of talking about equality and equity, as you will be aware, but (with the connivance of the Human Rights Commission) female trainees can get into the police with lower achievements on physical tests than male trainees can.

• This is sexist, discriminatory, and unfair, and is bound to undermine the morale of male police, who see their friends fail to get in after achieving the same results that sufficed to get female candidates accepted;
• A police force with low morale will be less effective;
• When male and female police are on the beat together, the males have to compensate for the females' physical incompetence, which puts both of them in danger and makes them less effective than two male police officers (both of whom had to pass higher physical standards);
• This must surely affect police morale;
• This situation offends against the principle of Equal Pay for Equal Work, since male and female police officers are paid at the same rate but are not equally competent and therefore cannot do the same work (as described above);
• It is arguable that the reason Stephen Wallace was shot by a police officer in Waitara, in that celebrated case, was that one of the three police officers was female, and was therefore incompetent to help the two male officers subdue Wallace in a non-lethal manner. Not only that, but the female officer admitted in court to having become frightened of Wallace, which indicates that she was temperamentally unsuited to police work -- a male officer with such wimpish characteristics would not have got accepted into the police force;
• This sort of thing must also surely affect police morale;
• Females in the police force do not last as long there as males do, and there is evidence that they enter the police force partly in order to find a husband, so taxpayer money spent training female police is a relative waste
• Meanwhile, the cirminals are away laughing !

In New Zealand, men and women are said to be equal, but women are more equal than men !
