Females can’t do it so of course the standards will be lowered, just as they have been in every other situation from law enforcement to firefighting for the last 45 years.
When they say women will “be allowed” to get into a job they are unqualified for, it means, “there will be women in this job, period” regardless of what that takes.
Anyone who thinks that women will be allowed to fail and that any job will just remain all male once it is decided that it won’t, is out of touch with reality.
When you are military, if your boss (especially if it's a Zero) tells you that you Need To Have a certain percentage of females pass a test in order to look better on the stats, you d@mm well better find a way to make it happen or it's your @ss on the grinder.
