As if "evidence" of that is particularly difficult to find: just check out the O-course. Or ask someone why qualified men can only service-select pilot down to about rank 600 or so, when a "qualified" woman can service-select it down to 1,100! Those who can't see the evidence are simply those who have a stake in keeping it that way.
And I'm for women at the Academy, by the way.
I'm trying to think of the justification for that one....Maybe its that there probably are a few specialties not open to women, such as Spec War and Nuke, that aren't open to men. Maybe fewer slots for those who want to join the Corps? I don't know. I suppose its probably something like that. If that's the reason, there's some logic to it.
What bugged me were things like Ac Boards. Youngster year, I lost a roommate who had a 1.76 for the semester. A female classmate, same company, with both a lower QPR and a lower CQPR, was retained. And she was one of the worst in terms of military performance too. But they just wanted to keep the women more than the guys.
