There is nothing wrong with women doing low reps and higher weight. How else would a anyone get stronger without overloading their CNS? Again just because "big guys" do heavy weight doesn't mean a women is going to have the same results as them in terms of visual appearance.
I don't see any other benefits a female would have if they were to squat 85lbs for 20+ reps other than improving their muscle endurance.
By increasing the load you increase the motor unit recruitment/activation.
