SAS considers watering down its gruelling selection tests to give women a better chance of joining the elite unit Test toughness could be lowered as women are given chance to join SAS in 2019 It could mean women will carry a lighter load during marches in Brecon Beacons But a source said it is about 'levelling the playing field', not 'lowering standards'

Our own SF is lowering standards. We just learned that from one who dared to share.
Which outfit and how so?

Deliberate sabotage of operational effectiveness to placate feminists. Soldiers will be killed because of this madness. And there will be a sexual harassment complaint filed within the first week they integrate.

Exactly. With all the witch-hunting going on today, you want to turn the SAS into a soap opera?

“Maybe the nfl should lower its standards and have some actual females play.”
Hmmmm, perhaps it is finally time to use the lefts tactics against them. I think it is time to do a “not 1 woman in NFL” NFL is misogynist campaign as loud as we can and not relent

🤔. Hmmm. This would allow the nfelons to abuse women legally. Not just at home anymore.

Liberalism insanity.
The so-called ‘levelling the playing field’ endangers both the females and males once they are actually placed in service.
This Lib nonsense helps neither. It only give the Libs something to crow about. Of course, those same Libs would likely skip the funerals that would result from this lame-brained idea.

Just out of curiosity, will China, North Korea, Iran, and the rest of the their enemies water down their standards too?
I have to assume that to be the case, unless they want their soldiers killed on a regular basis.

Libs are such fantasists. Always thinking they can change reality and modify basic human behavior through social engineering.

Then is there is 'Test Week', during which applicants are subjected to increasingly gruelling marches. The final one, called 'Endurance', is 40 miles long and must be completed without any breaks. Troops carry a 60lb bag, a rifle and a full water bottle - and are timed.Small 'changes' for women include the following:
"Endurance" for women will be a 4 miles long march with 2 breaks. Women will carry a 6 lb purse, a small plastic water gun, and sparking water in a reusable environmentally safe container.
