Well Daniel, that too. But I was thinking more along the lines that women in a war torn country may wind up suffering, dying, and fighting as much as the men, without the benefit of having uniforms, leaders or the protection of the Geneva Convention. Few country evacuate all the women-folk out of the way before the shelling begins.

Actually, I think I read that Peter Jackson is going to touch on this very issue in The Two Towers, with Arwen (I think) having a scene with a refugee Rohanian woman at Helm's Deep. I'm looking forward to seeing that aspect addressed in the film.
