We had gender-specific physical readiness testing in the 90s when I retired. Going back to that would be fine with me, because:

The average male can break the average female in half. The average very fit male can break the average very fit female in half. To suggest otherwise is to deny science, mock biology, and create real danger to women and girls.

Civilized countries do not put their females in combat.
Period.

When I went into the Army in 1975 as an infantryman, I remember there being basically three PT tests: one for the combat arms personnel, an easier one for support MOS's (men), and one for the WACS (female personnel).

I also remember wishing, while I was in the infantry, that I was in a support MOS. When I reclassified/changed my MOS to military court stenographer (court reporter), they went to one PT test for men and another for women.

I was in LE in the 1980’s. A friend of mine assigned to the “range” told me of a black female 80 lbs about 4’ 8” (and I’m giving her an inch or two) who couldn’t qualify because she wasn’t strong enough to pull the trigger “double-action”. (it was all revolver back then) The brass ordered him to falsify the tests so she could pass. Further news... in around her second year or three... she was caught scamming the welfare system in two states on top of getting a paycheck. Boy... They can pick ‘em!
