Policing is a man’s profession. So is soldiering, and commercial fishing, and underwater welding, and so on. That’s not to say women shouldn’t be able to serve in clerical roles in a police force or in the military, but they have no business leading police departments or being deployed into combat areas.....
This is, or should be, a commonplace observation. But ever since the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the rise of feminism, we’re all supposed to pretend that women can do any job that men can do. What nonsense.
Put simply, these are jobs for men — not just because men are better at them and more inclined to pursue them as careers, but because the purpose of those jobs is to protect and defend, which are tasks proper to men, not women.
And here we get to the heart of the problem, which is that having female police officers at all, let alone police chiefs, is an affront to reality. The only reason we do it is because feminist ideology has infected public life in this country. Fixing this problem will mean rejecting the sexual revolution wholesale and returning to the undeniable and very simple reality that some jobs are for men and some are for women because men and women are different.
