There are some areas where women could excel. All women submarine crews for instance. Women make excellent engineers, are more resistant to claustrophobia, severe cold, etc. Pilots or even shuttle pilots. Snipers on their own. There are combat areas for women should they so chose, but I do not approve of front line combat with men as they do NOT have the upper body strength necessary. Many women performed excellently in WW2. They were used extensively in the SOE. About 30% never came back but they unfailingly got the job done. Women were indispensable in the underground movements, particularly in France.

Not so much fighter pilots.
Upper body strength is essential and under hi-g they cannot function as well and as long as men.
