I believe this to be more principle than anything else. We opened up our IOC course at Quantico a while back and have had, what, two WM's apply and both fail or drop out. Not exactly a stellar record. Once reality of this type of stuff sets in, the volunteers seem to find other avenues of employment. But I concur with USMCFLYR. All fitness standards should be the same from this point forward. No adjusting of the bell curve for the "weaker" sex. Flexed arm hangs should be a thing of the past. And when it comes to taking the Combat Fitness Test, the same guy who weighs 250+ lbs should be used for all takers. No selective choices.
