The word is used to contrast men with women and children (Exo_10:11) and to denote warrior ability (Jer_41:16). The fifteen occurrences of the word in Job are significant, presenting a vast contrast between the essence of man (even a good one) and God (Job_4:17; Job_22:2). This contrast only adds more force to the passage in Zec_13:7 where God calls Himself geḇer. This passage points to the coming of Jesus-the One who as God would take on sinful human nature. He is the Man (the Shepherd of the sheep).

I could more, because of various translations, understand
Deut. 22:5 speaking to the man toward his "masculinity" as opposed to being "feminine" in women's clothing. I still believe the "abomination" is referring to homosexuality. Don't see warrior here at all.
