I wonder if guys will want to go to Ranger if they let women in- regardless of whether they change the standards or not. Heck- will guys want to go SF if a bunch of women wear the beret? Maybe things are changing- although talking to cadets out of the various academies I'd say nothing much has changed vis-a-vis the sexes- but I'd say that most guys won't want to bother with things that lose their tough- natured appeal...

If "everyone" wears a tab and a green beret (even if just the perception)- will they still carry the same distinction? Airborne School used to be hard...
