Well, that’s a whole different argument since there were both civillian men and civillian women, though of course they suffered in different ways if the military failed to protect them. Still, women getting raped, or forced into servitude during wars, isn’t a result of men being sexist bastards, it’s a result of humans being evil. The same men that were out raping the enemy’s women were trying to stop the enemy from raping their women. It was a tactic of war, based on practicality getting the better of everyones’ morality.

I have no doubt that male civilians suffer terribly as well. I’m only saying that for female civilians, having one’s male family members killed off or missing, and then potentially being raped or forced into concubinage by the enemy seems like a fate worse than death to me. If ever I faced that circumstance, I think I’d rather die fighting.
