There wouldn’t be a critical number of women required to create a standard Marine rifle platoon.
You’re essentially talking of 3 squads of 12+ people/squad. Never mind a supporting platoon of weapons(machine guns/mortars/assault) which is 40+ members.
So on a good day you’re talking of maybe 50 seriously jacked women (just to compare to an average male) that has to choose to become part of the infantry.
Do you know how you hear “there are no devs anywhere! Lol zomg “ well, this actually applies to the military in general. Never mind finding super jacked women who are choosing to go to the military, then pick the infantry, then pick the Marines.
So out of all that, as a young woman going to the military,why would I go do infantry and be miserable in water/desert, no showers for weeks on end, carrying heavy equipment for miles.... or I could get the same pay and be promoted faster as a clerk/accounting/cook/driver.
Israel is able to have some women sniper platoons (who are pretty hot) because they require mandatory service.
