What paranoid nonsense is this?
Gender neutral physical requirements just means you change "men who can lift Xkg" into "people who can lift Xkg". If that still happens to exclude most women, so be it.
- scottlocklin 11y agoThat isn't what happens. What happens is women can't do it, so they change the physical requirements. Which is why for years, "lady marines" or whatever you're supposed to call them didn't have to do pull ups, and when they gender normed it, the standard went from 10 to 3 chin ups (which 55% of women failed).

For example: To get top scores, men are expected to run 3 miles in 18 minutes, while women only have to do it in 21.
