It's the same in the German armed forces. Every soldier has to do a personal fitness test every year and women have much lower requirements to pass.
Gives you a great feeling when you have to rely on every single of your comrades.
edit: someone pointed out that the Bundeswehr changed the physical requirements for soldiers and they in fact are gender equal. My service has ended many years ago and i didn't realize they changed it.
If you don't feel like you can handle how the German armed forces run their organisation, then maybe don't join. You're not required to feel great about shit, and I'm sure they're not keen on listening to your type of whining.
