Historically, only men were allowed to fight in wars due to societal norms and beliefs about gender roles, which positioned men as warriors and providers while women were often relegated to domestic responsibilities. This perception was reinforced by the idea that men were physically stronger and more suited for combat. Additionally, cultural values and legal frameworks often excluded women from military service, viewing their primary role as supporters rather than combatants. However, these views have evolved, and many countries now allow women to serve in combat roles.
