There shouldn't be obstacles in place because she's a woman, she should be treated equally with the ability to earn the same opportunities.
This means that the men in charge shouldn't treat anyone differently.

spot on.
i don't advocate lowing standards for anyone, but its crazy to think that 100% of all women, everywhere, could not pass the tests. and it would be dumb to ban them from even trying if even if that were the case. the only reason to ban them on gender alone would be because you are afraid of them passing the test on there merits.
if your confident your test is the right metric to making a good ranger, then gender shouldn't play a role at all. it shouldn't need to.
there are some seriously bad ass women out there. and i am 100% confident that one of them, somewhere, could do it. and if you are so sure they cannot pass your test ... then let them try?
id be terrified to face this little lady in any physical confrontation:
