      It’s not necessarily a bad idea to lower their standards in general, but it seems unfair to reject a man on the basis that he’s too weak when they would have accepted a woman that’s just as strong. If strength matters, then only the few women who are strong enough should be let in. If it doesn’t matter, then men shouldn’t be rejected for not being strong enough.
