I've seen something similar in firefighting. In an effort to get more women into it, they lowered the standards far enough that the women that were applying could pass all of the requirements. In the end, they didn't lower the requirements enough, and just gave them a pass.
But all I can see is that when a real emergency situation comes up and they need to drag someones unconscious body out of a burning building, they may become victims themselves. We don't need to force equity down people's throats, but we do need equality for people to thrive.
