To be fair I know some real Disney hardcore lib fantics and no one agrees with that stupid article. It was such a gift to Fox News. That’s a weeks worth of outrage for them

You see, I hate Disney, but I'm cool with Mickey. Mickey is classic and an OG, but I hate the Disney corporation as it is currently constituted and all the animation abominations that come from it. Burn it all to hell!

Anyone else get the impression that the Army's fitness test might be sexist?

Or another, more accurate way of putting it would be that the Army's already watered down test that was designed to be easier for females needs additional tweaking and even more watering down because birthing people are still struggling. Some highlights:

Quote

The Army remains in a beta phase for the ACFT. Until March 2022, scores on the test will not affect soldiers' careers; officials have said they may implement additional changes before then, including gender-specific standards.

The most difficult event for both male and female soldiers is the two-mile run, with 5% and 22% failing, respectively. The run must be completed within 21 minutes.

While the previous Army fitness test's two-mile run actually had a more challenging minimum passing time for most age groups, the ACFT's run takes place after five physically draining events, adding another level of difficulty.

The pass rate for women is up 12% from last year, yet enlisted women continue to struggle the most, with a 53% fail rate. Female officers have only a 23% fail rate, but that's still significantly higher than the fail rate for men, enlisted or officer.

The data attributed most of that progress to a change in late March that added a two-minute plank as an alternative to leg tucks. FORSCOM found 22% of women failed the plank, a substantial decrease from the average 41% fail rate for the leg tuck. The pass rate for men went up by 1%.

The ACFT's impact on women has caught the attention of lawmakers. Last year, Congress passed a measure halting the implementation of the test until an assessment independent of the Pentagon is complete on its impact on recruiting and retention.

If the exercises test comparable areas of strength but merely provide alternative ways to demonstrate it, I don't see a problem with it. If the alternatives are simply being put in place to pass more women through the system, then that's asinine. I don't think it's realistic to expect the average female to demonstrate the same degree of physical strength/endurance as the average male, but it is reasonable to think that some women are atypical and can compete with the average male in some areas of strength and conditioning. So, like we see in the Tweet, a lot of women are still failing at a much higher rate than men (as one would expect), but there are some clearing the bar, so they are apparently fit to serve. As long as the standards are essentially equal, it should be a fair way to whether an individual is physically capable of the job. This should ultimately be based on performance, but I'm not opposed to offering alternative ways to demonstrate fitness, as long as the alternatives are recognized by fitness experts as essentially equivalent.

Um, yeah, you basically just reiterated your initial point rather than reading the article that admits they've already lowered standards and are considering more changes for the specific purpose of allowing birthing persons to pass at a higher rate. So, no, you don't need to refer to it as some hypothetical that you don't agree with. They've lowered standards and will consider lowering them even more to boost pass rates. :lol:

I will read the article, just haven't had much time to do so yet. If they are really doing this simply make it easier for women in a way that actually lowers the quality of the fitness test, I am against it.

 

But, yeah, "birthing people" :roll:

Might have to just change this thread to The Wokening or something because I don't want to have to make multiple threads about ideological zealots being put into high ranking positions. Already posted about the military and CIA in here. Here's a doozy for the DOJ:

 

So is this an ongoing Disney thread or was that just a one off?

It's true. I hear Gaetz paid (through Venmo) for an underage goat to be brought in especially for Tuckers pleasure.

I'm totally confused as to why you even care. If you had your way we'd have disbanded our military and surrendered to the first Russian soldier we could find.
