"It is hardly fitting to call a woman a coward, is it not? Any nation that would ever send its women or children to battle instead of its men would be derided by others as a nation of cowards. However, a nation that rallies its men to fight for their women, children, and homes would be regarded as an honorable nation. Nehemiah, a revered leader of Scripture, gave an honorable war-cry when he cried out to the men, 'Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!' (Neh 4:14) Cowardice is a sin that is very specific to men." -- Matthew Pennock, As a Man Is so Is His Strength
A woman who stays home from the fight cannot be accused of cowardice. If she is scared, she is excused. If she isn't, she is an exception. But she should not seek an opportunity to fight. That would turn an agent of life into an agent of death. It boils the kid in the mother's milk. It is unnatural and eerie. It turns nature on its head by turning mothers into murderers.
Cowardice is a sin conspicuous to men
Any man who congratulates himself for his courageous appreciation of women in uniform degrades himself. He celebrates his own cowardice and proudly boasts of his timidity. He upends the universe by assaulting that which no culture has ever embraced.
You cannot in clean conscience before God and man salute spinelessness; you cannot applaud apathy or congratulate cowardice.
