He does, however, very specifically ban women from defending their husbands by seizing the genitals of whomever is attacking their husband and mandates a serious punishment for doing so.
Deuteronomy 25:11-12
11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
I guess this was a big problem for the Hebrews?
