- The statement questions the competence of female firefighters, potentially disrespecting their dignity and contributing to gender-based bias. [-2]Principle 2:I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
- The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it focuses on perceived inequalities without acknowledging the complexities of DEI policies. [-1]Principle 3:I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
- The statement engages in criticism but lacks constructive dialogue, as it does not offer solutions or consider alternative perspectives. [-1]Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
