I ran into a group in Israel years back and let me tell you, you did not want to mess with them. But I do remember a discussion with them about the reason why they were a separate unit. It was because when the embedded with male units the males had a tendency to not focus on the objective.

Marines expected to ask to keep some combat jobs closed to women

Would be an interesting experiment. The Army's experimented on everything else (to include people), why not this?
