While physical size and strength is the biggest factor, social attitudes of equality and training can overcome biology when there is a willing mind.
I know quite a few female LTs that can bench press more than I weigh.

There are always some just like there are some men who would have no place anywhere near combat. Its not our physical biology that I'm overly concerned about here. Sure even though I almost never work out these days I can take pretty much any woman who hasn't been martial arts trained, I don't consider that to be the problem. Guns are a great equalizer.
Its the psychological differences that make the difference. Its not so much social attitudes its how our brains are wired, and our society is based on that, not the other way around.
