I'd like to see them put on full battle rattle and go on an 8 hour patrol in 120 degree heat.

Oh man, who would have thought that men look completely fucking ridiculous when they pretend to be women?
Someone post the female bounty hunter video and we can all laugh at how ridiculous women look when they pretend to be men.

They'd probably pose as woman are expected to.

"Steve Carell, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: How men would look if they had to pose in ads the way women are expected to."
What is the point? Are they trying to point out some faux absurdity?
OMG OMG what if we dressed a cat like a dog and a dog like a cat?!?
Men and women are different.
Is this what passes for Deep Thinking nowadays? Or cheap yuks? Please tell me it's the latter.

everyone's got a price.
plus, they do it for the viewers. that's business. attract the girls ("hahaha that's so cute that they're playing pretend girls!"") and you attract the guys too. smart move.

When celebrities model this kind of behavior, it's a bait and switch. They have the wealth and status to do it without penalty...they could still bang hot chicks (although they are no doubt more motivated by other things).
A lower status guy who internalises this kind of thinking, on the other hand, will gain nothing. Except if they try really hard, they might get to be the queen bee in some poisonous SWPL/hipster/Reddit community. The reward there is deference from the involuntarily celibate omega males, and possibly sessions of empowering strap-on sex with some chick with more tattoos than a Maori chief.

Guys keep confusing media events with real life. If I had a TV/movie career you could bet I'd be laughing all the way to the bank after a shoot like this.

Whenever Hollywood makes an "empowered female role/lead", it can almost always be more convincingly portrayed by a man.
Men tend to face actual challenges in day to day life that make it interesting to watch them on TV, because men in leadership roles tend to take more risks and have to be responsible for their failures. That's why "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" are such hits. Nobody wants to watch a movie about a woman with a great work/life balance.
