Ok, on this topic, West Point, we may be able to find some common ground.

As a former military officer, here are my thoughts on how military organizations ought to operate. This includes to an extent military academies such as WP.

First, there's the question of whether you're drafting everyone or nearly so (as in Israel) vs. a volunteer-based professional military such as the US has. For this purpose, a military academy would count as the latter.

There need to be entrance exams that include physical, emotional, and mental aspects. The criteria for passing these need to be (1) objective (i.e., apply equally to everyone) and (2) relevant to the roles the graduates (or soldiers if a military rather than an academy) are expected to play.

If the expected roles include combat, then, e.g., being able to carry a 200 lbs fellow soldier with his/her gear in a fireman's carry for say a quarter mile at a time, alternating with another carrier fits both (1) and (2). This may make it very difficult for many women to get in, but there is a significant minority of women who can successfully rise to the challenge and should pass the exam.

As a counter example, a requirement that someone have light skin fails criterion (2) as skin color has nothing to do with the expected combat role. Similarly, requiring someone to have a high center of gravity, which would disqualify nearly all women would also fail criterion (2) - it has nothing to do with the expected role and is clearly intended to bias against women.

Since we both know the history of American society's view of women in the late 18th century and mostly until the mid-20th century, I'm fairly certain that entrance of women to WP was prevented for no objective reason.

When I referred to WP graduation being an objective criterion for success, I was talking about those who were already cadets, since that's what Angela Duckworth researched.

So, I agree WP was biased against allowing women to become cadets until the 1970s (and there was likely a period of years until women cadets became accepted enough to not "enjoy" special negative treatment by instructors and moreso male cadets), I believe the criteria for graduating from WP if you're already a cadet are currently as objective as they can reasonably be, given that the whole thing is run by flawed humans.
