It never works out that way though. Do you really believe that the army will be allowed to fail 95% of the women who don’t meet the standard? Do you really believe that the pop culture won’t have some ranger sexism cute social media campaign if they fail women? This will start with tabs but then that won;t be enough…

I am sure some women can do it. Think of the Williams sisters (tennis). However, the fact is that the vast majority of women cannot meet the same standard and as a result, the standards will be lowered. And if an officers doesn’t pass enough women, it is absolutely assured that he will be labeled a “sexist”.
