43. Well, the question presupposes that all cops ought to be male in the first place
So if I were interested, I would tick off a generic cop job description and see what shakes out. Do cops have to use physical strength (the place where biological males generally have the advantage over biological females {though I say this as a woman who once made it to bench-pressing 200 lbs. Oh, to be young again!}) in every facet of their job? Clearly the answer is no. So does it follow that "cop" ought to automatically mean "guy"? No.
