It's a weird take as I saw Arch's video on it then saw the Templin's video on it later on
Arch rightly called out how they were trying to use the 'unreliable narrator' as an excuse for why female space marines could exist when outside of the actual lore, that's because GW couldn't reign in their writers.
Then there's the MASSIVE elephant in the room, if you have female space marines, what the fuck is the point of the Sisters of Battle. They are immensely powerful, way cooler than any 'female space marine' and just as badass as the actual space marines. This is another one of those cases where they want to add something without taking into consideration how much this hurts already established groups in this universe.
How come Sisters of Battle are considered that strong?
Because their faith in the Emperor is so strong it allows them to perform literal miracles, and even caused one of their members to become so powerful she is now for all intents and purposes a Daemon fueled by devotion to the Emperor rather than devotion to Chaos.
So it is less a case of "We used extreme biological science to create ascended men who are so ascended it is arguable they arent even human anymore" and more "I believe that I can stop these bullets, and my faith is so strong I literally manifest a force field that stops the bullet".
Replace "my faith" with gork/mork/randomzappything and you've basically got orks with tits.
Now, now, the SoB are more than orks with tits. They're orks with tits and ludicrous amounts of flamethrowers.
