"Various sensitivities"

You mean like avoiding a horrible, painful death from a biological contaminant?
The union representing Defence Department employees is pushing the government to put more women on emergency response units after a group of female workers was stripped naked and scrubbed down by an all-male team responding to an anthrax scare.
Union of National Defence Employees John MacLennan also complained that his members were, "given no choice by the emergency response team"... you know... the option to simply walk away and further spread a possible threat.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Therefore, beginning next week, all male firefighters will be ordered to cease rescue operations should a female victim be involved and they will be required to do nothing more than speak soothing words until female rescuers arrive."
