Comment by Stacey L Lackey on July 20, 2009 at 4:32pm - Are you guys watching the news about the discrimination in Houston against two female firefighters? Very strangely, I have been welcomed with NO problems at all with my guys in a VERY rural area. They just treat me the same as the rest of the guys-I feel for these ladies...we shouldn't have to work harder but we do-right?

Teri, I have experienced this in my day job.."The good ole boy sydrome" seems to be alive everywhere you go. Our Cheif gave us some good advice during a department chrisis, he said "What angers you controls you"
Please don't let anyone discourage you from what you do best. If you do then they won and you will be the only one to suffer. Hang in there time changes everything...even grumpy men! Love ya, sister!

- I have been pretty luck with the men on the depts i have been in accepting women in the dept. I have had people on the street ask my why i would want to be a psrt of a fire deaptment and some older folks think that it is a mans job and women should not be apart of the fire service. I tell them i love my job volunteer or not, i love to help others and my community. I am very proud of what i do everyday.
