IMO, the fighting prowess of the female characters on Grimm and many other TV series is fantasy. They are entertaining, but mostly fantasy.

Mary: Why would that mean no for women in combat? When combat missions needed women men would add them before the ban was lifted. There have been all women combat groups too. If a women is faster than most men I think she can capture a group of women, old men and children in area where a man cannot be near or talk to a woman.

Gayle: Women in combat? They've already been serving on the front lines, with heroism.

An estimated 300,000 women in uniform have served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Female service members have earned more than 10,000 combat action badges and Bronze Stars, respectively, and at least 12 Bronze Stars with a "V," according to data gathered by the organization Women in International Security.
One hundred and sixty women have given their lives to their country.
First Lt. Ashley White and Capt. Jenny Moreno were members of a ground-breaking all-women team recruited for special operations combat missions.
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author most recently of "Ashley's War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield."

IMO the whole show is fantasy.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
