I still cannot get my head around there being an anatomical difference in that a woman cannot open her legs as wide as a male counterpart, especially when one considers that during child birth the manage to pass a child out between them.
What has changed, there have been women in the services from almost day one, why now an issue? Surely if it's because as in that report the opening up of jobs previously undertaken by male colleagues only, surely they need to simply say no and close it again due to the possibility of injuries or get them to sign a disclaimer prior to undertaking that specific role, that injuries may occur as previously found and documented and that by signing the waiver they accept the risks with no liability come back on the services.
Incidentally, reading the Attestation stuff, I was attested into the RAF at the Careers Information Office.
