I hasten to point out that none of the women you alluded to served in combat or in combat vessels!
Women in ships was one of, if not THE, biggest mistakes the USN has made since WW II!
There are a whole host of reasons for my saying that, not the least is the sex at sea reason!
You are correct and after reading the original post by proud American in Canada, I now realize she was talking about women in combat; I thought she was talking about women serving in the military. I am in agreement with you both, women don’t belong in combat units.
