Små kvinnor och stora män

Vi kunde nyligen läsa om en våldtäktsman i USA som på väg till rättegången slet tjänstevapnet ifrån en kvinnlig polis och sedan kallblodigt mördade henne, domaren och tingsnotarien. Ann Coulter kommenterar fallet och undrar varför ingen ifrågasatt lämpligheten av att kvinnor eskorterar stora män. Hon skriver:

I think I have an idea that would save money and lives: Have large men escort violent criminals. Admittedly, this approach would risk another wave of nausea and vomiting by female professors at Harvard. But there are also advantages to not pretending women are as strong as men, such as fewer dead people. Even a female math professor at Harvard should be able to run the numbers on this one.

Det visar sig vidare att kvinnliga poliser i högre utsträckning än manliga tar till vapen. Coulter fortsätter:

It turns out that, far from ”de-escalating force” through their superior listening skills, female law enforcement officers vastly are more likely to shoot civilians than their male counterparts. (Especially when perps won’t reveal where they bought a particularly darling pair of shoes.)

Unable to use intermediate force, like a bop on the nose, female officers quickly go to fatal force. According to Lott’s analysis, each 1 percent increase in the number of white female officers in a police force increases the number of shootings of civilians by 2.7 percent.

Adding males to a police force decreases the number of civilians accidentally shot by police. Adding black males decreases civilian shootings by police even more. By contrast, adding white female officers increases accidental shootings.

Nu har jag inte hört talas om någon liknande studie i Sverige. Men även i vårt fredliga land borde råstyrka vara en klar tillgång för både poliser och brandmän. Skurkarna och bränderna är desamma.
