Title: Duped by the “Frailty Myth:” USMC Gender Based Physical Fitness Standards
Author: Major Misty J. Posey, United States Marine Corps
Thesis: Female frailty is a myth; women Marines have the strength and ability to perform pull-ups and should be required to do so on the PFT in order to evaluate more accurately female upper-body strength, properly condition women for the likelihood of combat, and mitigate the negative impact that differing standards have on unit cohesion.
