While I can not defend contrivances like that in fiction, in real-life, believe it our not there actually was a historically practical reason for that. You see most early civilizations had all male militaries. The ones that did not specifically kept the male and female troops separate since well rape is a thing. The Irish, Scottish and Welsh Celts for example had both male and female divisions, but the female divisions were the snipers and specialty agents, this was done because they needed to keep the genders separate to avoid rape and of the two genders, males can get spiked adrenaline (not that the Celts knew what that was, but point remains) men could go into a berserk rage easier so they were the ground troops, and the females were the stealth troops.
