I doubt women would be brought here to fight in a war if they were not going to be given the opportunity to defend themselves.

Humans care about a lot of stupid things. I suppose there are differences in men and women at home, but in the world of Nabari those things don't really matter. How good you are matters. Not what you are. So the answer is always "it depends", I suppose. It isn't as though just one answer will always be the true one. Worlds aren't like that. All the same, everywhere.
