Canada has had many problems with females flying. Most notably one could not wrestle a herc into the air without help, another can’t land an f-18 to save her life.
I believe there are more females phisically capable to handle jet than ones capable to load ammunition into a tank. Or carry a mortar and many other things like that. It doesn’t mean it is a good idea to put women in jets but it is the least worst idea considering them in frontline roles.
