Clothes maketh the firefighter

In Vancouver, apparently, there's been some "juvenile and hostile" behaviour towards female firefighters as they strip down to don their protective gear before racing out to do their job. So what answer have the authorities come up with? Buying all firefighters four pairs of "gender neutral" boxer-style underwear, of course. Plan B is to provide gear firefighters can slip over their normal work clothes so they don't have to strip down. It would simply make too much sense to weed out the purveyors of the "juvenile and hostile" behaviour, I suppose.
