It isn't just "western" ideology; it's pretty much any place with a huge military power. It's practically universal.
I am sure at least some women are capable of physical combat and handling the taxation a lot of soldiers go through, but you aren't going to convince anybody that simply because Tribes (which by the way is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF WARFARE) are going to convince us that a woman can do anything a man can do to the utmost degree.
That wasn't the point. The idea is that some cultures viewed women as fighters and men did what we considered feminine stuff. So, really, we should try and break the social stigma of letting woman play with the boys. Because they can clearly do it.
And just because a woman can't match a man doesn't mean she can't be strong on her own.
