The standards are lowered for PC leveling. Everyone knows this.
PC will be the death of us all.
It’s funny you should mention about the standards being lowered.......
In regards to the physical requirements being lowered, that’s what happened when women starting joining the military in larger numbers some years ago.
When women started to be assigned to U.S. Navy combat vessels, I wondered, “If an Exocet missile hits one of these vessels in wartime, will a woman be able to carry one of her wounded male shipmates to safety?”
