"But deliberate exposure of women to combat violence in war is tantamount to acceptance of violence against women in general."

That statement does not compute.

It might make more sense if you consider the reason behind laws against violence against women. People are not willing to see it and allow it. If people were just as willing to see women beaten as not, there wouldn't be laws against it.

But here is the willingness to place women in harms way, that is, subject to violence, by placing them in combat positions.
