Oops... remind me not to vote for you, or I think I would be looking for a new career!
Those standards are tough enough as-is, thank you very much. Any tougher, and I doubt I would make it.
Not to get into a statistics battle, but:
Assuming that the physical fitness of men and women are distributed normally, and that Men are a full standard deviation higher than women, you still have a good proportion of women that are in better shape than some men!
Raising the standards is always a good idea.
