Female firefighters in the Swedish city of Gothenburg have slammed the policy of physical strength tests for the city’s firemen as outdated and say it disadvantages women.

In greater Gothenburg, firefighters are given a certain number of physical tests, such as being able to bench press 30kg (66lbs) 35 times and be able to jump two metres in a standard long jump.

Yeah. You have to be able to physically carry out unconscious people.

Just lecture them on how unconsciousness is a social construct and leave. If they die it's their choice because they've been educated.
