Not exactly true. Quannah Parker formed a band of Comanche that all suited up to fight when they came to kill him for taking a chief's daughter promised to another man but that was the only instance. IIRC, the sight of all members of the band in war paint is what got the chief to not slaughter the whole group.
Maybe you could share something you have found to suggest that women ever fought alongside the male Comanche warriors, but I cannot find anything saying that? I read Quanah Parker's entire (((wiki))) page, and it didn't mention any female Comanche warriors at all..
Empire of the Summer Moon. Details the entire rise and fall of the Comanche empire far greater than any wiki page. The women didn't fight that day. No one did. But they were apparently prepared to. No fight, no wiki mention probably. But read that book. It's fucking great.
This is all wiki has on it, the book is far better detail: Quanah Parker's other wife in 1872 was Wec-Keah or Weakeah, daughter of Penateka Comanche subchief Yellow Bear (sometimes Old Bear). Although first espoused to another warrior, she and Quanah Parker eloped, and took several other warriors with them. Yellow Bear pursued the band and eventually Quanah Parker made peace with him. The two bands united, forming the largest force of Comanche Indians.
Made peace, no fight. No fight, no wiki Bartle page.
Women were never Comanche warriors. They were all men. There's no precedent for this. What a fucking joke.

Okay..so you don't have anything showing that Comanche women fought alongside men, ever. You could have just saved yourself some time, and said that.
