Women are not fit for front line combat!

Oh you're being silly. It's not about how one piece of equipment weighs but the total amount. That's what matters. If you think soldiers just ride around in cozy jeeps all day from point A to point B, you're wrong. 

Women have a hard time keeping up with males with no gear. Imagine if you strap them up with 60 lbs to 138 lbs of gear and see if they can keep up. The vast majority can't. There's some women that can but they are the exception and not the standard of a average female soldier. 

I'm all for equality but I'm a realist also. Women are not equals to men physically. That doesn't mean they shouldn't fight on the front lines but let's not pretend that they're equal to the guys either. Give 'em lighter load outs and different roles than just a standard grunt. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that already happens, doesn't it? 

I'm talking about different roles as in scouts, snipers, spies or use them in guerrilla type of tactics. I believe they are put in mainly support roles.
