What a drag. I was hoping for an intelligent response. Oh well...
In terms of gender equality the Qunari have it right.

Speaking of physical requirements...when I was in, women had to do like 12 or so push ups minimum in order to pass the physical fitness test while I had to do about 40 minimum. The bar is set so low for women so that more of them can make it into the military. That's fine by me. The more women the better I say. However, why do I have to do 40 then? If 12 is good enough for a soldier to hypothetically survive in the field then why the hell do I have to do 40? If the reasoning is that women aren't going to see combat then why the hell are they taking a fitness test in the first place?
The blame shouldn't be on the women it should be on the institution. There are plenty of women that could do 40 or more pushups...but are just as irritated as you that they only have to do 12. Knowing people have low expectations for you because of your gender is way worse than than being a dude and having to do 40 push ups :I
