I know how sexist it sounds and i am willing to accept that moniker in this situation.
In same cases it was o.k., but it the majority of situations, it was bad. And I will repeat myself in case anybody missed it, i am speaking from personal experience on this one. It is real easy to spout an opinion when you are far removed, it is another thing to live it.
One example out of a whole bunch: I had to cover for a female when the shit hit the fan once, and she couldn't hack it, and there was nothing we could do about it except cover for her ass because our asses were on the line. In the reverse situation, if we had a guy that couldn't hack, we got rid of him using our own ways, ways that would've gotten us court-martialed if we attempted them on a female.

Sounds more to me like the blame lies with your leadership and training, rather than with women as a whole.
