Agreed. A certain standard either is or is not required for a person
to do the job. Setting different standards, depending on age and sex,
makes no sense. If, in order to do the job, a person only needs to be
able to do 7 push-ups, why require another person to be able to do 19
to prove they can do the same job? If, OTOH, the ability to do 19 is
necessary, employing people who can only do 7 is willfully putting
lives in danger.

Jobs must either have human standards that include the capabilities of
both sexes or they must require bots to do the work.

So, what is the "human standard" in the above - 19 push-ups or 7? Are you suggesting men are super-human (able to do more than 7) or that women are sub-human (only able to do fewer than 19)?
