I think, as a general rule (almost a stereotype), women are less willing
to get into a fight than men, but if they're highly motivated enough to
do so they will fight extremely effectively (where a man may still be in
the "fighting for fun" mindset, at least to start with).

   When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
   And the women come out to cut up what remains,
   Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
   An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
