I don't recall anyone saying women couldn't do certain sports.
Just going to take a wild guess here, but I'm going to say that's because you were born in a time where we've largely gotten past the whole "women can't do anything but give birth and raise children" thing.
You're obviously a guy. We haven't gotten past that, not even close. At least not in practice. In theory yes, most people when asked would give say the right thing. But there are far, far too many people (men and women both) who still aggressively cling to this mentality.
I'd also like to thank Charlie for pointing out the number of men who dropped out, as it does a lot to present the story more fairly. A notable percentage of each class doesn't even make it through basic training. Infantry school is yet another level of testing to weed out the people who probably couldn't make it. Signing the dotted line doesn't make you a Marine, no matter what gender you are.
