Either that - or posters might have just given up on the question.
It's very difficult for civilians to imagine what may or may not happen in a hypothetical situation in battle.
The only issue I can imagine is that as a society, we are not used to seeing women held hostage, and that would be difficult for us to manage. There would be an unspoken 'need to protect' which would be greater than if the soldier were male.
Is that the conclusion you've reached?

Regardless of gender, no captured prisoner is going to be treated decently by such fanatics. It should make no difference who the enemy are. They don't dictate who they face. High time women were allowed on the front line. It's well known that the female is deadlier than the male. But there's an incentive to avoid hand to hand where possible as I'd suspect strength gives a slight advantage.
I'm sure that the female soldiers have been well trained and are fully aware of what will happen to them if captured.
Psychological training will, I imagine, have also been employed.
Though not physically stronger than their male comrades, they have agility on their side and have, no doubt been trained in martial arts, which women tend to excel at. Plus, as I have found out over the years, sometimes it's better to be smaller in threatening situations. Men don't expect tiny women to attack!

Always best to actually say what you mean, rather than leaving us to infer.
Sidebar - the person speaking implies and the person listening infers.
But back to your point...female soldiers carry the extra risk of being raped and impregnated by the enemy, but I think they face the far greater risk of being killed and that risk is shared by both male and female members of the armed forces.
Perhaps we should trust the armed forces to train females in the service, and let them manage troops as they see fit, rather than civilians determine the risks?
