Have the women with combat jobs and have made it to the Ranger Regiment and Special Forces actually been fighting along side men, or have they been just for show?

Dude. Just google this. There have been women fighting along side men in the US since the Revolutionary War. Deborah Sampson fought alongside men for 17 months disguised as a man until a fever requiring medical attention revealed her gender. Molly Pitcher manning a cannon when her husband fell. Those women then leading up to SGT Ann Hester receiving a Silver Star for her actions in a firefight. This bad ass woman CHARGED and ASSAULTED A TRENCH LINE. Women don't have to make it to the Ranger Regiment or Special Forces in order to fight along side men. Of course, this leads to a follow-on question: Why does it matter?

Good points. Women can help men and fight with men but they can't do everything a man can do or be a man. Women will most likely loose 1:1 fights with men but they can outsmart them to win.

DUDE, women fighting in combat roles IS NOT the norm, although your example . Although the DUDES question was not articulated in a politically correct way, I can assure you as a Marine that there are plenty of men that have legitimate reasons to ask. There is a reason that women weren’t allowed in those roles. Some are sexist and out dated some are not. So in all seriousness dude your examples are good ones but not typical. So good response in really didn’t answer the question. I don’t know how many women currently have graduated marine corps infantry school but in 2022 it was 6. So again, not the norm. Last to answer your question why does it matter? Because it’s literally life and death.

It's not that women don't belong in combat, it's their need to break the barriers that exist like SF training. Men have different muscular and physiological differences
