The standard should NOT be lowered. If women want to be considered then they should have to meet the requirements. The requirements were set for a reason. I've never understood this dire need to be a man or play with men outside of the bedroom. I'm not interested in running as fast, or lifting as much, or pissing as far. There are plenty of things I can do that a man can't do. Don't misunderstand my point. I still feel that women should have the right to try and that they should be afforded the same opportunities but then it's up to them to meet that standard.
