The numbers underscore the difficulty of integrating women into the demanding jobs, and reflect the small number of women who want to be combat Marines and can pass the new tough physical standards required to qualify. So far this year those standards have weeded out most female hopefuls and have also disqualified some men.

Six out of seven female recruits â€” and 40 out of about 1,500 male recruits â€” failed to pass the new regimen of pull-ups, ammunition-can lifts, a 3-mile run and combat maneuvers required to move on in training for combat jobs, according to the data.

Failing the tests, taken about 45 days into basic training, forces recruits into less physically demanding Marine jobs.

Gender is a social construct!!!

Maybe it's the part where the female recruits have to do 200 naked push ups on their commanding officer.

Clearly a need for Affirmative Action to combat this blatant sexism.

Yeah I don't think women need subversive combat training.
Republican bad ass bitches like Michelle Bachman usually lines a few bad guys up in the sites of a couple snipers. Either by doing a sexy shimmy or an Mahamud drawing contest.
They don't really need to sneak through the sewer unless they look Janet Reno or Nancy Pelosi.

Maybe they need more Transgender Marines to sign up.

Maybe funny, but feminazis are going to ask for the standards to be lowered-it has happened in many other areas-where standards have been lowered for "protected" classes.
