I think it's more a disgrace they got a "beasting" till someone quit(think no.1 gave in?) especially as it was a punishment for no.13.

The fact that quite a few of the women have dropped out suggests to me that the expected standards are too high.
In the interests of equality, maybe lessen the intensity of it all. There’s no need for some of the abuse the staff give them (males and females).
I also thought it disgraceful that the chap was forced to quit in episode one due to the toilet issue.
Yeah lesson the challenge just for females is the answer lol.
The guy quit himself because in his own words, his religion came first so no one made him quit.
Firstly, equality of outcome is not equality, especially if you try to enforce it selectivelyThe fact that quite a few of the women have dropped out suggests to me that the expected standards are too high.

Secondly, that's both denial of basic biology and reverse sexist.
I can for instance change my daughter nappies, bathe and feed her etc as well as my wife, even though I started from zero when she was born.
I didn't assume or expect lower standards from myself just because I am a man and this was considered "women's work" until a couple of generations back, and the same principle holds true for everybody.

they are being trained as if to go to war and kill people not the girl guides scouts!In the interests of equality, maybe lessen the intensity of it all. There’s no need for some of the abuse the staff give them (males and females).
Thats why, for instance why you should have a single Wimbledon tournament rather than separate men and women formats.
Why should women tennis players share prize money with their biological inferiors when they could win it all..

Why should the standards have to be lowered because women want to join? They have to fit the criteria not the other way round.

Too many in it so needed to cull some, fine it before, once in the parade ground carrying stuff until the weakest quit.

I’m just not sure it’s all necessary. In episode 1, when they were running up a mountain pulling a 60kg sleigh, Ant shouted “Surprise, surprise, there’s four chicks at the back.”
A few days later in the office where I work, the printer needed to be pulled out. I tried the same tactic. I said (and was clearly joking) “Surprise, surprise, a bloke has to move the printer because the chicks aren’t up to it.”
I’ve been spoken to one to one by a senior manager and warned of my future conduct. When I told her she wouldn’t last on SAS recruitment with that attitude, she warned me again.
My point is, why should one workplace be different from another. It’s all about equality and creating an inclusive working environment these days.
