Democrats will have a solution to this “problem”.
Just lower the standards for women.
Like Obama.
If she does end up suing, then it’s because she’s just another SJW feminist and not just trying to better herself.
Between Oct. 1 and May 31, 51 female recruits entered boot camp with combat arms classifications, but only 13 of them — or 25 percent — met the physical requirements for those jobs, a test known as the MOS Classification Standard, according to the data, obtained by Marine Corps Times through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Meanwhile, among men who showed up to boot camp with similar contracts to train for combat jobs, the pass rate was about 96 percent. Marine Corps data shows that 7,264 of 7,552 of male recruits who attempted the same physical standards passed.
First level washout rate is 50%. Even the best prepared can “ring the bell” when they hit their wall. Only reason it makes news is that she is the first female to try. I give her an attaboy for at least trying. I know I wouldn’t make it.
I doubt she would have gone this far if that were true.
...she is the first one of two females to try and the first to drop out.
Obviously the Navy SEAL standards are sexist and misogynistic.
They should have dumbed down the requirements.
Like they did for Army Ranger chicks.
‘Gloria Allred will represent her.’
Probably not. Allred is under two separate investigations for legal malpractice, so she’s got her hands full at the moment.

And for Congress swampsters, ex-presidents, all gov’t positions, private business management positions, and even public school gifted program eligibility standards. The whole infrastructure has been eaten away with affirmative action-style termites.
This is true. But when you put some little old gal in a life or death combat situation and your life depends on her - that is beyond stupid.
Guess she saw that movie.
This is not BUD/S. She was not in SEAL training yet. She didn’t quit BUD/S or SEAL training, she quit before it go that far.
And she is a third-year ROTC cadet; hasn’t earned her degree (or commission) yet.
One more note: making it through the screening course does not guarantee selection for SF training. During my days as an Air Force ROTC instructor, I had a cadet go through the screening course as a third-year cadet; he hoped to become a USAF combat controller. He was fit, sharp and motivated, but was not selected for the training program. Apparently, there was something in his psychological eval that the selection panel didn’t like, and he didn’t get the training slot. He would up as an AWACS controller.
I don’t know what that says about the combat controller community—or the AWACS crowd. But it is an example of how rigorous the screening process really is.
I wonder if her decision to quit had anything to do with pugil sticks.
I’ll guarantee she wasn’t the first one to tap out. She tried.
Reality meets Ideology:
Reality: 1. Ideology: 0.
Out of a 3 week ‘weeding ‘em out’ course.. and she’s gone GONE Gone.. I probably would be too.. Oh vell..
