Posts from Which units would you replace in the Sylvan castle?

You know, it wasn't just seen as immoral, but also because women were simply physically weaker than men (of course, there were exceptions). Besides, a woman was usually pregnant at least once every two years – although most children died in infancy – and with such a belly, you can't fight much...
But in general, there were cases when women fought in open battles – I myself remembered something and posted it in the first post on this topic.
Regarding the belittling of men's merits – this is clearly not the case, since for a medieval person:
firstly, a man was definitely so much higher than a woman that such cases would not belittle him;
secondly, the motif of a female warrior is quite popular in various legends (and, by the way, it is presented there as something amazing! The only exception – and I also wrote about this – is Celtic mythology), and, therefore, it attracted the attention of men.
As for combat training for women... I don't know, Archer, where you got this from, but both I and, for example, Marc Bloch, and countless other historians (well, I'm not a historian, of course:D), share the opinion that in the early Middle Ages, in its heyday, and in the late Middle Ages, women were only taught to run a household. They even started teaching them to read and write much later than men. And there were no female alchemists (that's a fact!), and they didn't study at universities (but now we have only girls in psychology:D).
And about Europe, you're exaggerating. In Europe, women were always treated with much more respect than in China or Arab countries – it is enough to say that polygamy appeared in China (although, perhaps, it actually appeared even earlier in the Paleolithic), and in Arab countries, a woman is almost not considered a person (how else to explain the fact that paradise in the Quran is described only for men? As far as I know, nothing is said about what may happen to a woman after death). Women were most respected in Western Europe (chivalrous gallantry:)), and they had the most equal relationships with men among the Vikings – they asked women for consent to marry, they could insist on divorce, and in general – read the sagas and you will be convinced:)

Yes, and one more thing. I think we've gone completely off-topic about female warriors:( Let's either open a new topic to discuss this issue, or just move on to elves. In the worst case, to elf women;)

Look at all the Heroes games... there are women everywhere, and quite a few of them.
Especially the Elves have many female characters in the Heroes and units...

A woman is the guardian of the hearth.

Intellectually, women generally surpass men, but the smartest and the most foolish are precisely men?
And it is well known that women are much more prudent and realistic than men and take life much more seriously.

...or stay at home, which is better.

I agree with Magnus.
