It's an idealogical struggle that goes back and forth. For example, from my very rough memory: - People were upset there weren't more women in the armed forces. - The armed forces lowered PT requirements for women so that more women could make it in (less pushups, slower mile times, can sit down in formation) - Currently people are mad because that treats women differently. Among other things, it gives a sense that all women are weak and need extra accommodations, and that can hurt them in the eyes of men in the force. So we have this struggle of wanting to include more women, but we have to figure out how to do it without favoritism.
