Are you comparing being a woman, which means you're comparatively less physically imposing and highly likely to be targeted by any immoral men, to Nazis?
I'm comparing gender identity to other forms of protected identity: race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.
I'm not making any judgements about any group being superior or inferior to another. You're the one doing that. Being "physically imposing" is subjective and variable. There is significant overlap between the largest women and smallest men, and that's just staying withing the confines of binary cis people. Not to mention... Guns exist. Cars themselves are weapons far more dangerous than any human regardless of gender.
Building a just society means we need to leave behind our biases and fears. To judge individuals not on the circumstances of their birth but the content of their character. That means discarding the luxury of pre-judging people, not just when it is easy, but also when it is hard.
Are you autistic? Honest question.
