It's one of those strange things I have never managed to get my head round either.

It's absolutely clear from the fitness test settings that the average woman is not capable of competing physically at the same level as the average man but somehow they are equal to to their fellow man

Don't confuse this with a bleat about the fitness test, medical exemption for my last 5 months of service but I have done it every year since it came in and sailed through every time, it really is a piece of wee wee but it's hardly equal if one gender has to achieve less than the other.
