What is the relationship between honor, gender & war?

Most people assosiate 2 of the 3, if not all 3 in one way or another. There may be some of you who think it is honorable to go to war and that it’s one of the ways for a man to become a man, when it comes to gender construction. Others may think there are ways to behave dishonorably during war but still link honor or lack thereof to mostly men. Perhaps others of you think about war crimes such as massive rapes of women and children and wonder what the relationship between honor, gender and war is in that scenario. Or about resistance to women being in combat or gay people being open in the military. Whatever you think about, what, in your mind, is the relationship?
