So word bags is right its just some PR nonsense, and witty is correct as well if they cant do it, they cant do it. Theyre not making it like police and firefighters where women can pass with lowered standards

Also it does emphasize that standards won't be lowered to meet quotas. So I don't see a prob with this then.
