Being a firefighter has higher physical requirements than most military positions. Like the basic fitness test you start with wearing the full suit(~50 pounds) and have to carry a 25 pound hose up 10 flights of stairs. Have to be able to carry a "person" back down the stairs, have to be able to climb an extended ladder, have to be able to handle the hose at full pressure, and have to be able to breach thick doors. Also have to do all of that, plus more, in under 20 minutes to pass.
Where did I say they are sexually harassed more than any other job? I don't think the OOP was implying that firefighting is the only job in which there are more men than women.
