We have changed the perspective of the standard to mean what a person needs to pass a course, obtain a position, etc. The standard is what is needed for a job to get done, not to allow someone to claim a certification.
So, change the perspective on what the standard means, and suddenly gender doesn't matter anymore. You either meet the standard or you don't.

WOW I had no idea that earning a CPA degree took such brutal physical effort!
Well done! Good to know that the CPA certification is still held to the highest standards!
Here's your participation award.
I for one am glad to hear that lowering the standards until all can pass is "ok" with the general public. Thanks, you've renewed my faith in the American sheeple.
