The Israeli Caracal battalion which is mostly women doesn't carry nearly the load of a Marine infantryman.
For a reason.
No one uses women unless they cannot find men, or because they aren't serious about winning. There are just too many times when upper body strength DOES count, and women don't have it. Lots of men don't, either - but the average man can be trained to get it. The average woman cannot.
I was in my late 40s when I did my last combat tour. Happily, I spent much of my time behind a desk. Why don't we use 50-60 year old men in the infantry? Because very few 50-60 year old men can get the job done as well as a 20 year old can! It isn't ageism, it is reality! There comes a point in life where you find yourself struggling to MAINTAIN fitness, or lose it as slowly as possible, rather than trying to improve.
Stop watching TV. Just ask yourself why more women aren't in the NFL. Then imagine if the losing team gets killed...
My opinions are based on my experience as an enlisted, an NCO and an officer, not based on armchair internet soldiers or drunks down at the NCO club. Nor watching TV.
It is without question that women are not as strong as men, generally, however women bear pain better, are more organized and can pull a trigger as well as anyone else. That is the reality of why Israel and other military forces use women in the same role as men.
I guess you can take the position that the israel army is worse off but no intelligent person would accept that as a fact. Nor would anyone believe that Israel isnt interested in winning.

There are no women in combat roles in the Israeli military. They tried it and it was a dismal failure.
