A pilot in the 115-125lb range which is quite easy for some of our shorter women would have a very hard time doing the high strength, high reps, cardio training necessary for the M1 and other G-runt maneuvers designed to clench neck, trunk and thigh muscles to keep blood in the upper torso.........

Bluntly, a small woman could come out of this crippled or with chronic health issues and nobody will do anything about it because...diversity is more important than economic or capability driven metrics.
