So Women must work harder to compete with trans women in sports. But it's okay to reduce the standards for women who are going to protect the security of the nation?

But the new fitness curriculum was quickly criticized after it became clear women, older male soldiers and National Guard and Reserve troops had difficulty passing it.
About 44 percent of women failed the test from October 2020 to April 2021, compared to about 7 percent of men, Military.com found at the time.
[...]
Wormuth herself had expressed concern about whether the test was affecting the retention of women in the ranks.
“I also have concerns obviously about the implications of the test for our ability to continue to retain women, which we obviously want to do,” Wormuth said at her nomination hearing in May.

So apparently the only problem with the is ACFT retaining women in the Army.

Is there any form of rewards for exceeding the basic requirements?

I mean...at least they can't complain about the "unrealistically high bar" for the military and their biological differences for not enrolling and doing their part now

It makes sense. Do we want women to fight or not? Its completely unrealistic to hold them to the physical standards of men.

Women cannot compete even slightly with post pubescent males. We can’t simultaneously be mad that women aren’t fighting and that they’re changing the standards to allow women to fight. If they die they die idk what this has to do with Mens Rights lmao.

This isn’t news! The military has always had different physical fitness standards for men and women. Then women wanted “equal opportunity” in the military to be able to have jobs that are biologically suited for males (infantry, other combat related jobs, etc.) but yet the physical fitness standards remained different! Same jobs for men and women = equal opportunity! However same physical fitness standards = sexism. It’s a political nightmare for the military so they just comply and the military is inherently weaker bc of it!
