I'm not quite sure I understand the question.

No no no it has nothing to do with gender of firefighters. If fire itself were a gender what would it be? male or female?

It definately almost always though could be a woman.  It has a mind of its own and can be very stubborn.

"What's hot, touchy, and dangerously unpredictable?"


"Women"


"This is a fire test you idiot."


"Exactly."

Okay in that case, It's has to be female. Too many words women use sounds alot like things that have to do with fire, ex. hot flashes, hot, water will ruin my make up. I mean come on! What else is there to be said? LOL...

I do have a bit of a funny story...


when I was just out of career center I was dating a mechanic at a repair shop.  It was summer after I had graduated and I was still helping out my instructors with the truck that we had... it was a beater.


but I went to get my oil changed by my at the time bf. when a snap on tools truck pulls up and the sales guy jumps out. and starts talking to the guys in the bay.


sense everyone knew me back there I was in the bay with them when the guy walked up to me and stated "a girl like you shouldn't be playing with cars." I snapped right back with "nnnooo, a girl like me plays not only with cars but with fire trucks." he just dropped his head and walked off...


HA shows how some men should watch what they say to a girl with a heart of fire....

Brigid was the goddess of fire to the ancient Celts before the Irish ever turned her into a saint.


fires & women...nice to stand near if you're cold and alone, beautiful to look at, but don't get too close without protective gear and a careful attitude.

So if someone were to say fire was male, what would be a characteristic for that?

THe male characteristic of a fire is the fact that it gets really hot (tempered) really fast.  It goes off in no particular direction and usually has to be put out b cooler heads...usually female.  Sorry guys!  :)   Right back atcha!

Though I more or less agree with the prevailing trend here, I must take issue with women going through a mid-life crisis - women go though menupause - men go though the mid-life crisis.  Not much difference though, I suppose lol

Are you saying that a "Hot" guy won't attract people, or is the combustion a different chemical reaction?

ah, dammit, anna, you're making me work off the clock!  now i'm gonna hafta look up the flash points of testosterone vs. estrogen.  it's actually true that friction between unshaved nether regions generates tiny sparks, like a miniscule version of the Velcro sparks that incinerated the Apollo 1 astronauts.  wow, a new explanation for spontaneous human combustion, except that they normally only find ONE victim (that's a scenario almost too horrible to contemplate).

Fire is so beautiful to look at but in the end can burn your a** so it has to be female. Oh did I just say that!
