He actually is nearly obsessively protective of women, no matter the context. His convoy in Afghanistan got blown up, and one of the women survived--a woman he loved, although he never told her, because Unit Cohesion. And they cut her throat right in front of him, leaving far worse than visible scars. So the boy has a soft spot (in his head) for women. It's gotten him into trouble more than once.
Were it a male character throwing themselves to the vampires, he wouldn't have been nearly so vehement.
