Any objective measurement with a minimum passing score is discriminatory by definition. They discriminate against those who can't pass. Because they are objectively measuring physical attributes regardless of sex they are not discriminating against women, just those not strong enough to do the job.

In my state there used to be a requirement for state police that they must be a minimum of 6' tall. This was waived for women and is in fact a clear case of discrimination.

My memory of the mid to late 1960s was that height requirements for cops, was the first to go.

It used to be that a cop would walk into a bar with his billy club and arrest a man alone, or with his partner.

If you can't make the height, just claim to be transgendered, then you get preferential treatment.
