Those arguments have been raised for a long time, and there might be something to the second, but that happens already in most units, just because of the bonds that are formed. And as for the first, just eliminate the double standards that currently exist and have all soldiers meet the same physical standards male or female. It is likely that less females will be able to meet those standards, but even a lot of men can't meet military combat standards. Also I thought that Israel allowed women to serve in combat. I seem to remember seeing a interview with an Israeli tanker who was a woman.
