Combat roles still have two tiered requirements, so you're wrong. Women can't perform the same as men, that's the only reason there is two different test standards.

Examples:
• Men must complete a three-mile run within 18 minutes to get a maximum score on that portion of the PFT, while women younger than 40 have up to 21 minutes.
• For Marines between 17 and 20 years old, men must do 20 pullups to get a maximum score; women must do seven.
• On the CFT, men must lift a 30-pound ammunition can between 106 and 120 times within two minutes to get a max score. Women must lift the can between 66 and 75 times for a maximum score.
