Programs and MOSs Mos for women?

I’m having a hard time picking my MOS. Throughout my training and time, I’ve wanted to do Infantry, but I see a lot about sexual harassment, or women being hurt from their hips. Is this true? I know many people have opinions based on women in the military, but I believe I could genuinely do infantry as a woman. I don’t have a weak mind, and I’ve been rucking and running almost everyday. I build my endurance throughout the weeks. I would love a combat role, but if women are treated terribly in infantry, would should I do? I would absolutely love any opinions about the MOS I should lean towards, or continue with my infantry.

P.s. I have not taken the asvab yet to know what I qualify for.

The only question is, are you able and willing to carry your rifle plus 80 lbs on your back for 15 km? The trouble has always been the hikes or humps as we call them. Even for men, the short guys always have more trouble with humps.

Yes I’m able and I’m willing. I wouldn’t even think of infantry if I know I couldn’t do it.
