The new standards laid out here show that Ranger students only need to score 60 percent to attend RASP, which is gender-normed. Male and female Ranger students do not need to meet the same standards, once again showing that there are, in fact, two sets of standards being used. Here is what 60 percent on the APFT looks like broken down between genders in the 17-to-21-year-old age bracket:
Men:
53 sit-ups
42 push-ups
15:54 two-mile run
Women:
53 sit-ups
19 push-ups
18:54 two-mile run
Men:
53 sit-ups
42 push-ups
15:54 two-mile run
Women:
53 sit-ups
19 push-ups
18:54 two-mile run

If a female can not score high on the APFT using the male scale, there is no way in Hades that she will pass the RPFT and the other physical events. It seems like a non-issue, as I would expect that only elite females who meet male standards (at a very high level) would be allowed to attend RASP.

CPT (Join to see) If they use the female scale they should apply the same 80% expectation. This is not an unreasonable expectation, instead of lowering both to 60%. It doesn't make sense to expect less.

I will add that common sense dictates that the women that apply to Ranger School will be the ones that know that they can meet the challenge, so how many men will apply the same common sense?

Here's the breakdown from armyranger.com; also noticed there's a difference between the APFT and the Ranger Fitness Test.

I do not see any differences in the requirements. The big thing that would drop an individual from the course would not be able to do the 5 mile run in 40 minutes or less.
From what I see for the requirements to pass the ranger course you need a lot of willpower and able to pass the 5 mile run.
Of course pass the psychological aspects of the training.
I did not see anything concerning gender

SFC Kenneth Hunnell - Reference psychological aspect, lets face facts as husbands the wives continue to beat us. The Taliban tried to defeat me because it business for the wife it's personal.

If this is true (and I'll hold judgement on that, because theses things start like wildfire), and I was a woman that wanted to be a ranger, this would piss me off.
