Spartan women were also combat trained although not sent into battle. The move was over wrought obviously, take a look at what the men were doing and ask yourself if any guy could do that no matter how good a shape he was in.
But that is no reason to write out people who were there because they don't fit with your world view.

300 is a fantasy version of the real events, no doubt, just like every piece of trash Hollywood puts out. Rambo couldn't take on the whole NVA nor the whole Russian army, even Chuck Norris couldn't take on 20 guys simultaneously (blasphemy! I know) but having a skinny 97 pound woman take on even ONE large, fit, male soldier and live to tell about it is a level of ludicrosity exponentially greater than any of those scenarios. Having said that, I was in no way expecting reality from this movie, so I wasn't disappointed.
