Is the military going to dumb down the requirements for the SEALs, Rangers, the Green Berets, and other special ops now that there are no restrictions for women to be a part of them?

In this PC gone whacky over the past couple of decades, in order for the military to claim being PC and equal to all are they going to dumb down the requirements to enter special ops to do it? For instance, if the requirement for navy SEALs was a candidate had to be able to shoulder a 70lb pack and be able to hike 15 miles in X amount of time, or carry a 220lb man 3 miles in X amount of time (these are examples for the sake of the question, and may not be actual requirements) will they dumb it down so women who are not man enough to pass, where even many able-bodied men are bested by it? Will the soften the requirements as firefighters have just to be able to promote some women into it, or will they say, you want to play, you have to play equal to the best of the men or we will see you on ”wash out lane” with all the men who could not cut it?
