That's exactly what it is. Memo to the (D)UFEMNDSAPers: Those PFT standards are not new, by any stretch of the imagination. Most females we had never bitched about it any more than anyone else did (and we did, from time to time 
). They simply took it as a job requirement and went on remedial PT just like anyone else would if they flunked one. Flunk two consecutive, and you're gone.
Lowering the bar for your protected victimz? STFU, you stupid bitch. Four times a year; the Remington Raiders, Wingers and Grunts all take the PFT. Hung over, just off watch or feeling frosty. No excuse. You see, that's how the non-(D)ipshit world works. Unlike unqualified Presidents, you don't get a whole lot of mulligans in combat.
Phuckin' A, Bubba. 
No ,No, No, to each as their ability.
All military needs to place people in a category of ability. Be it mental, physical, and with the possibility that those placed can change over time.
Woman that want to go into combat have to realize they have a body structure far different from the Males. The males strength is in the upper torso, woman have their strength in the hips and thighs. A male can carry a 50 pound back pack but a woman needs the weight on her hips.
Until the military finds a way for the female combat solders to pee standing up, lug 80 pounds on their back as the men do, then I worry about our women that just need a bit of help to with technology to get a chance to come anywhere close to the males.
