Blue, Blue, True Blue

What is it about wearing a blue uniform that releases the Inner Caveman in some men?

The RCMP is being torn asunder by divisions in its ranks, including regular accusations of sexual harassment from female officers. The Richmond Fire Department has yet to explain what has being going on in their work environments in recent years that caused several female firefighters to resign and go public. Now a gay councillor in Pemberton is saying that homophobia is rampant at the local fire hall.

Now, we don't rightly know the veracity or extent of any of these alarm bells.

But there certainly appears to be a peculiar and sophomoric pattern at play here.

What is it exactly? Boys will be boys? Men in uniform just get flat silly?

And does being a homophobic, anti-woman dork mean you can't do a good job?

Whatever it is...Grow Up.
