Not necessarily. The Soviets espoused gender equality as a policy - or at least gave lip service to it. A lot of women received military training before the war and were effectively called up as reserves by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
In retrospect, the mobilisation of women was one of the major factors bringing about Allied victory. Nazi Germany’s failure to mobilise women en-masse for war industry work and auxiliary roles (blinkered as they were by the misogyny of Nazi ideology) helped exacerbate the administrative and logistical inefficiency and incompetence which already hamstrung their tactically and operationally proficient armed forces.
