Adding women as soldiers into A3 will mess up the public multiplayer since most kids and newcomers migrating from other games will most likely run around half naked now when characters can be partly undressed.
Futhermore women have no place in combat and the women serving in different branches in many armies are only there for show, but this is a topic that is discussed on the official forum.
I find it sad that this "issue" has not been deleted from the feedback tracker.
