    Based on what we’ve seen so far, I really think they’ll just use the men’s criteria.

    Ironically, when I was in I thought it was really unfair that the women could openly grow long hair and just tuck it under their cover and the men could not.

    I’m ashamed to say that back then I took it as an example of women wanting special treatment, when I’m sure in retrospect that it was nothing of the sort.
