Your first point is false, they had to retreat because our shit govt called off their air support and stopped giving them mechanics to service their craft. Any percentage of their army being female had nothing to do with their army falling in a few days.
Think any of those would-be Afghan Amazons amounted to the level of their male compatriots, much less exceeded the males' level, when the Taliban - a group which everyone knew would return women's rights to the 13th century posthaste - was on their final tear across the country?
Suffice to say that any fantasy that female Afghan troops would've been a cut above the males b/c 'girl power' or even would just fight harder because they know the Taliban would put them back in burkas if they were ever defeated have proven to be as fantastical and lacking grounding in reality as everything else the Western liberal world order's been saying about Afghanistan.
That said, I think there's a case that can be made as to feminism in general hurting Coalition efforts to win in Afghanistan. The 10% desired quota for female soldiers is mentioned in that thread, alongside crazy shit like quotas for women in the Afghan parliament (resulting in there being craploads of female MPs 'representing' districts they had never even been to), tying aid money to attaining a gender balance in each local government, etc. And this stuff kept going on even after trying to force feminism on Afghan society and 'smashing the Afghan patriarchy' was noted by the USgov itself to have literally sparked revolts among the Afghans & proven utterly detrimental to peace efforts.
Feminism and wokism are definitely to blame for our failure in Afghanistan. People like Anthony Blinken deserve scorn and derision in the history books as the epitome of useless Globohomo bureaucrats trying to culturally colonize a country while being completely ineffectual. Everything woke turns to shit.

My point wasn't that female soldiers caused the ANA to fail, it's that they didn't actually turn out to be any better than their male counterparts. Certainly, far from going on gung-ho female revenge fantasies as described by the Redditors in the linked image above, they've pretty much just fled the country or else resigned themselves to restored Taliban rule and are scared shitless (no castor oil needed).

Maybe because every single thing the west did was a waste of time and money at best and a pollution of God's earth at worst.
