mental standards?

for minorities probably yes, like in every other endeavor

but for women- why?

In fact, it is men who as a class might have lower mental capability

physical standards- for flying- length and width of body parts and how they fit into the cockpit matters more then strength when you’re flying a giant computer. But women’s bodies do withstand G forces better

You Said: "In fact, it is men who as a class might have lower mental capability physical standards- for flying- length and width of body parts and how they fit into the cockpit matters more then strength when you’re flying a giant computer. But women’s bodies do withstand G forces better"

I say: Show us the data establishing your assertions-not someones opinion, but actual measurements, drawn from randomly selected populations.

men who as a class might have lower mental capability

Women's mental capacity is spread out more evenly than men's, who tend to have more members on the high end and the low end.
