Female firefighter posing for a picture, London, UK, 1925

As awesome as it is that they even entertained the idea of female firefighters...how ridiculous is it that they were more concerned with fashion rather than function...
- I would have a law passed that requires all firefighters to be in miniskirts at all times.
  Fighting fires? Miniskirt.
  \ Fighting foods? Miniskirt.
  \ Fighting smalltalk in formal dress at some event? Miniskirt.
  \ "Fighting" (wrestling) other firefighters in a naked calendar photoshoot? Miniskirt.
  
  \ Its just a formal requirement to wear one, no restrictions on how it must look or how it must be worn. A belt can technically be considered a miniskirt.
  
  Ya it would be a real shame for women to go one second without looking fuckable
- This holds true for a great deal of contemporary thoughts for any given time.
  Everything is arbitrary and we all make it up as we go along.
