Looking at the Ranger fitness standards, there is likely no way to get significant numbers of women to pass current male standards. The minimum for pushups and 2mi run are past the 100% row on the female fitness charts. The Marine Corps found that only the top 10% of female Marines could do 6 pull-ups (the minimum passing number for Rangers)
