This honestly could work, but only if the standard is the actual standard required to complete the job and not just to allow people to pass. I mean this for all walks of life too. I earned my CPA not because someone thought I should get it, or because I came from a rural area, or because of any other perceive disadvantage I had that entitled me to get my designation. I earned it because I met a standard that our industry said I needed to meet to properly serve in my profession.

We have changed the perspective of the standard to mean what a person needs to pass a course, obtain a position, etc. The standard is what is needed for a job to get done, not to allow someone to claim a certification.

So, change the perspective on what the standard means, and suddenly gender doesn't matter anymore. You either meet the standard or you don't.
