Probably because they'll take orders well without question, kind of part of their evolutionary traits in a way?..
Also because they've been kept away for so long, it will make it all the more tempting for some women..

Running the military like a business almost...win-win except for our humanity.

It just seems like the timing is eerie, they'll have this huge resource at their disposal for all kinds of things now...

remember all the front line soldiers who were tested?? I wouldn't put it past the government to use women now to test things like creating super solider babies etc...

Course, the OP will pretend that women were ever provided a chance while then citing some of the most notoriously sexist cultures in history as proof that equality won't work.

And how many people that are spewing venom at you been in a combat situation and know what it takes?

Plus there's a little problem with feminine hygiene that has been a huge talking point when I discussed this with military females who have admitted they could never make it as a grunt.

Women have had it easy all along in the us service. Time they start putting their life on the line also....
Putwomen on front line beast idea ever. They are just as capable as males.

And will these women be tested along the same guidelines as their male counterparts?
What happens when the female soldier is captured and raped?
What happens when the male soldiers wants to be a hero to impress the female soldiers and gets both of them killed?
What happens when the female soldier was passed based on a watered down test and proves unworthy in the thick of battle?

I want these questions answered. There is a reason why females through out human history were never placed on the front lines. These issues are just a few...

They can load the weapons and set up a portable field kitchen for the men

A bit of history...

Russia deployed an all-women battalion in the 1914 war against Germany. The results were mixed but interesting.

Called into action against the Germans during the Kerensky Offensive, they were assigned to the 525th Kiuruk-Darinski Regiment and occupied an abandoned trench near Smorgon. The battalion pushed past three trenches into German territory, where the trailing Russian army discovered a hidden stash of vodka and became dangerously drunk. The newly-promoted Lieutenant Bochkareva ordered that any further stashes be destroyed.

And then...

Outnumbered and unsupported, the battalion met stiff resistance from the Germans and were repelled. In honour to those women volunteers, it was recorded that they did go into the attack; they did go "over the top". But not all of them. Some remained in the trenches, fainting and hysterical; others ran or crawled back to the rear

And then in 1917...

A subdivision of 2nd company (137 soldiers) participated in the defense of the Winter Palace during the Bolshevik Revolution on October 25, 1917, having been called to the palace square for a review before being sent to the front, but when they arrived the commander of the Petrograd Military District ordered the women soldiers to defend the Provisional Government. Despite their resistance, they were overwhelmed by the numerically superior pro-Bolshevik forces and defeated and captured. Some of these women suffered verbal, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of Red Guards and soldiers.

The members of the women's battalion were arrested but released shortly thereafter. The British military attaché in Petrograd, General Alfred Knox, credited their release to his own intervention. The women of the unit returned to their encampment outside of the city.

Ending sadly with...

The 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death, commanded by Bochkareva, was still at the front after the revolution, but disbanded shortly after as a result of increasing hostility from male troops.
