Love your attitude, however as one who has personal experience in this, they will force the unqualified in for their “numbers” and if they have to they will change the standards.

My annual appraisal contains a category about how I support affirmative action.

Once the politicians order it- it will be done, and it will suck!

Like wings on a jackass, looks good but it won't fly!

Been there! Done that!

“My annual appraisal contains a category about how I support affirmative action.”

Since quotas are no longer legal, make them justify that. Especially since people seem to be getting larger these days. Even kids.

Same for changing the requirements. I'd demonstrate for them on live television the difference between what a 110lb woman can move vs. a 110lb man.

Might want to encourage women to work on upper-body strength, too. I know it can work. One of the troops who worked for me just before the 1st Gulf War was stronger than several of my guys, but she spent an hour or two a day at the gym working on her upper-body. She was over a foot shorter than the guys in question, too.

For that matter, my grandma wasn't all that large, but NOBODY messed with her, as she'd rip your arms off. Grew up working as a cook in the lumber camps where she met my grandpa just before the Great Depression.
