Even if those standards are exclusionary to women? Women do not build upper body muscle mass as quickly as males, so shouldn't it be about relative capability? Can she Perform the Job? Yes. Is she as strong physically as the men? No. So she's fired. Thats the way it works now, and that's not an acceptable system too me

If the standards are designed specifically to be exclusionary to women then they need to change.

However, if the standards are reasonably in line with the actual expectations of the job, then yes, they should apply to everyone equally, even though it probably means it will be harder for the average women to reach them. Safety is paramount, and equality does not mean special treatment. In most realms, true equality would amount to representation proportionate to the gender ratios of those interested in the job. In jobs that require a great deal of physical strength to perform properly, that might not be the case. To be clear: no candidate should ever be turned away BECAUSE of gender, and if a woman makes the cut, she should not be treated any differently from her male comrades (nor does she need to hear shit about how she's "too manly" or "not feminine" or anything like that).
