Gender Specific Standards

This is so much double speak from the military. If I am a Combat Arms soldier then I would expect any other Combat Arms soldier to meet the same standard that I have to meet. When people of the other gender proclaim that they are able to the same things as their opposite gender can they should have to prove it.

Army Mulls Returning to Gendered Fitness Standards over Complaints of 'Lopsided' ACFT

The Army is considering adding gender-specific standards to its new Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT, after early data shows nearly half of female soldiers can't pass the test and might face being removed from service once it becomes official next year.

"We expect all soldiers to meet the exact same minimum standards, regardless of age, gender, or occupational specialty," the trio said in their combined written testimony.
