Just... nope, any war, no women, no sir, nowhere.

oh yeah....that's why sheep love was more common back then

.....I might be detecting just a HINT of sarcasm....

You see, the reason movies average ~75% male is HISTORY

Women should be glad they get to speak almost a quarter of the time!

I mean, they just didn't even exist in the oldey timey days, only men did things, they just stayed at home and had babies!

If they are saying there were more men fighting in the battles, I'll buy that. If they're saying the women ceased to exist in the various places BEING attacked (Castles, villages, cities, etc) then.. uhm no

yes, and no war was ever fought over birth or heirs.. oh wait

Or, you know, didn't exist in the camps, as cooks or cleaning women or prostitutes or messengers...

And sometimes as healers... nuns as well as monks were some of the first nurses and medics

and even before that... there's a reason the wise woman knew about herbs and more

....messengers...spies....and, yes, fighters....warchiefs....

like, dude, Robert the Bruce's family - wife, sisters, mom, et al... did a TON

Inspections occured

Inspections?

Take with grain of salt, but I recall something about noble women going to inspect one set of troops while their husbands were at another flank. They were part morale, but they also made SURE the lords were sticking to the plan and had authority to dismiss if some general type was fucking up.

Ie... they could and did fire incompetncy

Ha! I like that.

But again, take with grain of salt. I have not researched. Catnik and you probably would know more than I when it comes to female contributions in history. I understand there was something about half the population mattering...hand wavey gesture 🙂

It's just lazy

It is

plenty of women, but women are usually underrepresented by (male) writers

so then when you look at history books, the contributions of women are difficult to document

Oh, you ever watch Extra History on Youtube?

Not yet. Should I?

It has all sorts of history stuff mentioned, and now and then they touch on someone like Cheng I Sao the pirate queen, Catherine the Great, Theodora (With Justinian), Mary Seacole and oh yeah, Mary Anning, the lady who male palentologists ripped off

Cool!

Yeah. I did not know "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" was inspired by a woman who dug up DINO bones

Oh, yes! I remember learning that from my Childcraft Encyclopedia forever ago.

oh wow

She so got ripped off for credit.

Okay, I think I need a break and to get off my butt for a while.
