> The US army is considering scrapping its new gender neutral fitness test because women have been failing in much larger numbers than men.

> Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

> An early Pentagon study showed women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, compared with 10 per cent for men. Congress has halted implementation of the new test and the army has begun an independent review into whether it is fair. It has been suggested that the standard test could be evaluated differently for men and women.

Biology is a fact and for some jobs — like combat in the army — that biological difference matters and will manifest in any unbiased test.

I’m concerned by our inability to talk about facts.

This is the new norm. Men are stronger biologically so women must have an easier fitness test. Next move should be to make written tests easier for men since women are better at these than men, especially longer ones. We must all be the same and yet also be special snowflakes.

The leftist narrative is that it's only sexism if it affects women. Otherwise, thins are fine. That's why you don't see calls for having same representation in fields such as construction, firefighting, nursing, teaching, etc.
