Right. In other words they will determine that the current standards are no longer necessary and they will lower them so that women will be able to qualify.

Hate to break it to you, mate, but you are decades too late for that particular worry. Even as far back as the seventies some muck-sucking politico(s) mandated a defined percentage of females in the military. To meet the ordered percentages, standards were lowered across the board by any means necessary, and near as can be determined that has not changed.

You don't have to tell me. I took Basic Training at Ft Dix in 1979. My platoon had females in it and the DIs told us that we were the first "mixed" cycle. Though I wouldn't know if the standards were lowered for them at the time.
