In Response To: Re: Everything I've Come to Expect *SP* (Jillybean) : Of course they are. Quite. Bear in mind, Halo is a world where women are in all tiers of the UNSC military both at and behind the front. If anything, the selection of a female Spartan is just a subversion of expectation - the massive, silent soldier is not the rough, silent male you'd expect from her asexual Mk.IV armour (note the ambiguous name selection also) but is actually an otherwise dainty-looking female. I don't think the character's sex is anything to do with the character's choice and is far from being a commentary on women's involvement in combat. Up until that point, Cal's actions in combat had been exemplary, moreso than those of some of her male counterparts.
