Women Baring their beasts at a fire engine......

I was nightshift on New Years Eve into new year's day in the city centre tre. I couldn't believe it when a group of drunk ladies decided to flash at the guys in the fire engine I was in. I actually had to lock the cab door as they were trying to climb in when we were stopped at traffic lights.
Why the hell would anyone think that's acceptable in an emergency vehicle.
I was mortified for them!

Wow talk about lack of self respect! I’d have been mortified 😱

You should have turned the hose on them.

Hannah4banana · 03/01/2018 15:56

Sadly that's not allowed in this day and age. But tempting!

DH ( ex-forces) used to regularly travel in a convoy of Army vehicles up and down the country, and said that women often honked their horns and flashed their boobs.

They're only breasts. Aren't we a bit beyond being bothered by a few boobs?

Maybe they love red trucks

Or firemen

Eatingwormswithwine · 03/01/2018 16:03

Horrible. Imagine if a group of guys flashed their penises at a group of women. Shameless

Idontevencareanymore · 03/01/2018 16:03

My husband used to do nightshifts for a cleaning service. He used to get drunk girls proposing favours in order to drive them home and save a taxi fare......

People just lose any sense and morality when they've had a skinful seemingly.

FartsMeanHearts · 03/01/2018 16:04

Peppa would you say the same if a bunch of guys flashed their dicks? Confused

peppapigwouldmakelovelyrashers · 03/01/2018 16:05

I don't think breasts and penises are equivalent, and I'm surprised anyone else would think so.

BenLui · 03/01/2018 16:05

Peppa I’m not bother by breasts per se, I am bothered about sexual harassment of Fire Fighters.

Are you not?

peppapigwouldmakelovelyrashers · 03/01/2018 16:06

Women showing boobs are sexually harassing fire fighters in a moving vehicle going past them? Really now, calm yourself.

Eatingwormswithwine · 03/01/2018 16:07

They might not be equivalent peppa but the intent to sexually taunt and harass would be the same

RavingRoo · 03/01/2018 16:07

@peppapig - how would you feel if a man showed you his penis as you drove past? If that is sexual harrassment so is this.

Hannah4banana · 03/01/2018 16:08

The guys I was working with were really uncomfortable. Why should you put up with that at work, where else would that be acceptable? In the supermarket? On a bus? But it's OK because we are in a fire engine? So wrong!

OP posts:
peppapigwouldmakelovelyrashers · 03/01/2018 16:09

Penises and breasts are not the same thing. Can you not make an actual point about breasts without going on and on about completely irrelevant penises? Shows the weakness of the original point, doesn't it?

BenLui · 03/01/2018 16:11

“calm yourself” Hmm

It wasn’t a moving vehicle. The OP stayed that they had to lock the doors to stop an attempt to get into the vehicle.

Bluntness100 · 03/01/2018 16:11

Agree op it's not ok, it's just low life behaviour. The whole "getting your tits out for the lads" mentality.

I'd really hoped as women we had moved past that, but clearly not.

Eatingwormswithwine · 03/01/2018 16:13

A breast feeding a child and a penis urinating are in the same bracket, a private area doing a job, not offensive.
A breast being flashed in order to sexually taunt a man at his work is also no better than a man flashing his penis to the same effect. Same

etap · 03/01/2018 16:14

No, it's awful. Have you had counselling since?

Notreallyarsed · 03/01/2018 16:14

Penises and breasts are not the same thing

Well obviously not but the exposure of either in public isn’t appropriate is it? Or is it only men capable of sexual harassment?

peppapigwouldmakelovelyrashers · 03/01/2018 16:14

A breast feeding a child and a penis urinating are in the same bracket

Are they? I would say not. I find the comparison quite offensive actually, one used by people who tell BF women to cover up, as they "wouldn't piss at a dinner table"

restbiterepeat · 03/01/2018 16:15

I think flashing your boobs is probably more comparable to mooning. It's fucking etude but no implied sexual violence.
