Probably motivated by the idea that separate standards for men and women is also "woke DEI". Don't imagine for a second that their actions are made with good intentions
Regardless if they are, I don't get why people get so worked up over the different standards for men and women being rewoked. It's a shitty job anyway.
It's not a contest to see who is better, it is not a reward for good behavior, it is a necessity. If you have lower standards for women, why not just have lower standards for men too? Same shit.
You can have weaker men serving and get the same results: more people in the army.
If you can't get into the army, then so fucking what? Making standards for women lower, only makes them equal on paper. In-practice, you are putting a political message over function. You are being run by jealousy where there needs to be none.
Because standards are first and foremost about maintaining a healthy force. Then they find a number that allows for being healthy and operating in combat. That's the minimum and you get points for going above that, and discharged for not meeting it. I guarantee you they aren't keeping women around as a DEI thing where they're only equal on paper.
I don't care about DEI. But yes, that explains it.
Thank you, you actually changed my view unironically.
