Women warriors

edit

The writers of this page go to great lengths to pretend that women warriors were a normal, but suppressed thing in history, and to deny or cast doubt on the historical claims that, for example, Margaret wore a pot as a helmet, carried water and the rest, solely on that basis. All historical record and literature contradict that modern elitest assumption. Women were not warriors as a rule, and became such only under desperate circumstances, because they simply did not have the size, strength, or physical build of men in physical combat. It is obviously to Margaret’s great credit that she did what she did, and the pretense that women warriors were a normal thing belittles her greatness in rising up to something she wasn’t fit for by her ontological status. 62.4.56.233 (talk) 05:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
