Physical Standards in the Military

• Physical standards set by the military are exclusionary, excluding virtually all women and some men.
• The question arises whether the standards themselves are sexist and counterproductive.
• The basis for the standards should be based on a realistic assessment of the job requirements.
• If the standards are set on a realistic assessment, then the number of women and men who qualify will be proportional.

Assessment in Psychology

• Job analysis is done to determine what is required for the job and what predicts prowess.
• Merit is defined as what makes it likely that someone will do very well doing whatever the job is.
• If merit is found in this manner as the gold standard, there will be no radical equity at all levels of analysis in the candidate pool.
• On the left side of things, people are almost entirely unwilling to forego equity as the outcome.

Equity in Selection Process

• The outcomes of the selection process should be equal across all conceivable combinations of ethnicity and gender and sex.
• If the outcomes of the selection process aren't equal, the system is by definition exclusionary and prejudiced.
• Assuming that merit is not completely equally distributed, it kills merit.
• One question on the female front is the possibility of falling into the hands of the enemy.
• It is not fun for women on the front lines to be in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy.
