Judith Webb is a former Major in the British Army and a proponent of equal physical standards for male and female service members.

[1][2][3] In 2013 and 2014, Webb argued against women being allowed into British Army combat infantry units, as she argued that women needed to meet the same physical fitness levels as men, despite being "different physiologically".

She was critical of changes in recruitment standards that reduced the difficulty for both men and women, saying it was an attempt to "meet gender equality requirements".

She also highlighted as evidence two women who failed to qualify in the United States Marine Corps.

[4][5] Webb was included on the BBC 100 Women list for 2013,[6] and 2014,[7] and through that met Kenyan Joyce Aruga, who hoped to set up a school in a Nairobi slum.
