I generally hold The Federalist at arm's length as a source but this opinion piece is pretty much spot-on.

It’s not natural or normal for women to be police officers, or soldiers, or firefighters. And we don’t have to pretend otherwise.
There’s a lot to say about the disturbing footage of a violent mob beating a man and woman in downtown Cincinnati, but one thing that shouldn’t go unsaid is that the outrageous and offensive response from Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is yet another reminder that we should get women out of men’s spaces — and out of men’s professions.
Policing is a man’s profession. So is soldiering, and commercial fishing, and underwater welding, and so on. That’s not to say women shouldn’t be able to serve in clerical roles in a police force or in the military, but they have no business leading police departments or being deployed into combat areas.
This is, or should be, a commonplace observation. But ever since the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the rise of feminism, we’re all supposed to pretend that women can do any job that men can do. What nonsense.
Well, the "let them" be in those spaces if they want ship has sailed but it should be perfectly fine to also point and laugh at them when they fail, and say "you asked for this".
If they can do it. Fine. But if they are dying, failing, or messing up, (or worse, getting the men around them hurt/killed) they should be mocked no end with the truth without any repercussions.
