Yes, there are women in war zones but few in combat situations. Those that are have had training in both weapons use and hand to hand combat.
The reality is that there are more female primary and secondary teachers. Even with basic gun training, few if any have had hand to hand training as well or gun training to the degree of a military personnel, and therefore, there is going to be a higher probability of them being over-powered by a 6' tall 185 lb. male junior hell bent on getting her gun and doing something tragic.
Please remember that in Newton, several female teachers and administrators attempted to throw themselves at the gunman and disarm him. All failed.
