“There was pressure on her instructors to help her to pass the course. I think the RAF wanted good PR out of it.’

Just loosen the requirements like the US does.

It was very sexist of the Brits to demand that the woman do everything the men had to do after she demanded to be let in after telling everyone that women could do anything that men could do.

They should not loosen the requirements. If a lady meets the requirements, then she deserves to be on the team. Most men (me included) can’t meet those requirements, so it is no shame for a lady to try and fail.

You mean all I had to do was admit that I underestimated the course? That’s all I had to do all along?... Dammit.

More Western societal insanity.

Generally, women do not have the upper body strength of men. In many ways, women are not men and it would be intellectually dishonest to say otherwise.

Political correctness in the military will get people killed.

There are significant physical differences between males and females.

The recruit dropped out of an 18-week course this month after falling behind her male counterparts on endurance marches and failing other physical tests at a training base in Suffolk.

...

Well, that’s just unfair. Why didn’t the officers just tell the male counterparts to slow down for her to catch up?

Stick with a word processor and she’ll be fine.
