Yeah I agree women are overly sexualized in society, thanks to all this wonderful entertainment media around now. Yet women are going into professions and attending college more then men are. So the reversal of tradition, from prudishness and treating women like 2nd class citizens now you have sexuality blasted everywhere and women are expected to perform on the same level of men in an occupation.
So yeah, it's no wonder some people have a hard time treating each other like normal people. I just don't think the culture of professionalism and keeping business and private life separate is really that established in society yet. Most people are just naturally trashy, I think, that goes for both genders.
Are you saying fat bodied, out of shape men would be able to skim by on the minimum if they were able to use the female standard, and that females wouldn't be able to compete with the same male standard as is? That instead of having a soldier's standard we should instead have gendered standards?
I'm saying the reality of having a volunteer military pretty much makes a double standard the only practical standard they can impliment. I'd love to see a 'soldier's standard' but they just haven't figured out how that would work exactly. The purpose of a soldier is to go brave danger and go into combat and other extreme emergency situations. Physical fitness is pretty important to beable to perform and survive.
But yeah, if females had the same standards as men do now, there would be very few female soldiers able to meet that standard. Same thing with age, if a 55 year old is expected to meet the same standard as 20 year old, there would not be very many soldiers in the army long enough to be generals and sergeant majors and whatnot.
