For age, you can at least make the argument that if you're older you have more experience. That naturally assumes you've been in the job for that time, though.
A baseline requirement for "staying healthy" is kind of irrelevant for your job, though. All that's required is that you're fit enough for that specific job.
Check out my fanfiction!I recall it being a USMC officer course. However, the amount of applicants were rather low to begin with, which runs into issues of sample size. Expect the anti-feminists to only bring that up when it benefits them.

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiotSo far, 30 servicewomen have attempted the US Marine Corps Infantry Officer Course
. None have succeeded.
The most recent public failure rate is 25 percent
, with 10 percent on the first day alone. It's apparently (since I am merely an interested amateur) the toughest training course in the Marine Corps.
Probably wouldn't do most news channels good to wind up with a spokesperson whose response to the news was "Well, yeah, women have been in frontline roles for years now, we just didn't tell you because we knew how you would react", though.

In the 75-page proposal, Mohammad Khan Sheerani suggests a light beating is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman. The proposal bans forceful beating, saying only a small stick is necessary to instill fear. The Council of Islamic Ideology is a powerful constitutional body that advises the Pakistani legislature whether laws are in line with the teachings of Islam.
Its proposed bill is seen as a response to the rejected Punjab Women Protection bill for abused women. The council shunned it as "un-Islamic" and wrote its own bill, which includes the recommendation for the light beating.
"A husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands and refuses to dress up as per his desires; turns down demand of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take bath after intercourse or menstrual periods," Pakistan's Express-Tribune newspaper cited the proposal as saying.
The proposal also calls for a beating if a woman does not wear a hijab, if she interacts with strangers, speaks too loudly or gives others cash without her husband's permission, according to the newspaper.
It also suggests bans on various activities, including women fighting in wars. But it allows women to participate in politics and become judges, and proposes that the need for a guardian for women of age is not required.
The proposal also says that women should not be permitted to receive non-relatives or foreign officials, and they should not use birth control pills without asking their husbands. Proposals by the Council of Islamic Ideology are recommendations and are not applicable unless passed by legislators.
This is a horrible thing to do, there should not be a law to allow anyone to beat their wife/husband. Relationships should be about love and equality, not discipline and dominance. I know many parts of that side of the world only see women as property, but a law to repell wife beating could go along way towards fixing this issue.
Ya, I'm weird like that...A sad fact indeed, Imca. For too long in Human history women have been seen as nothing but property/baby-makers. This mindset wasn't even challenged en-masse until relatively (culturally speaking) recently. I for one think that women should have every right of their male counterparts. One gender is not superior to another.
Ya, I'm weird like that...Suddenly the question, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" doesn't seem so loaded anymore.
Check out my fanfiction!Oh sorry, they way he worded it was confusing. Yes its a rather recent world view, as I said in my one post.
It ticks me off that so many people still are in the mindset that one partner has to dominate the other. This isn't just limited to male dominator, female compliant. IMHO, the sooner people realize that love is an equal partnership, the better.
Ya, I'm weird like that...
X5 Actually the "have you" version was never loaded, it's always been the "when did you" version that's loaded, because there's no answer that matches the question that doesn't mean you beat your wife at some point.
But yeah, this may be a slight improvement, which is itself an even more horrifying thing. If it's legal to beat your wife 'lightly' then doing it heavily woudl be illegal, which isn't how it was before.
So progress, but Saten tripping bars levels of progress.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranIs it an improvement to codify and limit something that already occurs? Is the problem as is with the severity or the frequency? Those laws would limit the severity, but encourage the frequency by making it more explicitly acceptable than previous.

The way I see it, it's equally loaded. Semantics, though.

Check out my fanfiction!

I think that Blue was talking about general "everyone has to stay fit" tests, not requirement ones for a specific job.
