Re: Gender as a social thing and patriarchal
Women as exempt non-combatant has been pretty common historically, but has also tended to clash with the women as property meme - I would suggest that in most of Europe up until the Great War (and perhaps even then) a woman with sufficient social status not to be casually molested could move around a conflict area with something close to impunity.

Re: Gender as a social thing and patriarchal
What society has ever learned that fact for more than five minutes though?
Everyone demands revenge post-war. It's the rarity for a culture not to exact excessive consequences afterwards.

Enough societies for there to be a such thing as peace even if it is never an absolute.
