So not only were they women soldiers to defend a system of slavery, they got bodied by the French.
At some point you should just quit as forget digging to China, your making a bottomless pit with these 'but' arguments trying to portray them as the good guys.
I mean this is an easy disregard without reading a headline or the body of the article itself;
Arica L. Coleman is the author of That the Blood Stay Pure: African Americans, Native Americans and the Predicament of Race and Identity in Virginia and chair of the Committee on the Status of African American, Latino/a, Asian American, and Native American (ALANA) Historians and ALANA Histories at the Organization of American Historians.
In times of war, during the transatlantic slave trade and in the fight against French colonialism, Dahomey female warriors “were the last line of defense between the enemy and the King,” writes Serbin, “and were prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect him.”
(...)
As numerous Africianist historians have attested, this system also shows up in the true history of pre-colonial African reality. For example, John Henrik Clarke explained in his essay on African Warrior Queens in Black Women of Antiquity, in the years before colonialism, “Africans had produced a way of life where men were secure enough to let women advance as far as their talents would take them.”

From slavery to the present, black women have had to contend with four major stereotypes, which Collins identified in her classic book Black Feminist Thought. (...) Notably absent among those stereotypes is the idea of the righteous warrior.

The importance of this achievement cannot be overstated. For black women and girls the world over, Wakanda represents a fictional world in which their natural beauty and intelligence are accepted norms of a society that values and affirms both their femininity and humanity. How much more significant, then, to know that this vision is based on reality.

Hilarious revisionist history, the reality is they were so low on men due to constant war, tribal genocide and slaving that they forced women to fill those roles. This has been a constant theme in Africas history since it was recorded.

Whoa holy shit you can't just advocate for meritocracy!!! That's not heckin' progressive!

I think the The Woman King is an attempt to launder - via comically insane historical revisionism - the absolute absurdity that is the concept of Wakanda. In reality, literally everyone knows that black nations are the dumbest, most corrupt, most dysfunctional on the planet, and that all of this incompetence is a function of extremely low average IQ. Wakanda is a deliberate inversion of our observable reality, akin to other delusional leftist declarations like “fat is beautiful”. What if, like, the dumbest people were secretly the smartest? This isn’t creative. It’s idiotic.

They were also alcoholics:

I've seen alcoholic characters who are sympathetic, but never ones who perform human sacrifice. I think you buried the lead there.
Click the link (a book about them "amazons").
It may sound like phrases taken out of context, but they're actually quite in the context (drunken literal bloodthirsty barbarism).
Folks forget that before 1871, France was the militaristic and belligerent superpower of Europe.
It was in the 1890s, but anyway.
Outside of Europe, France was kicking ass for much longer.
I'm just a bit amused by Americans who think the beginning and end of French history if 1940 and 1944.
Oh I know, just my patriotic duty to tease the French and by extension everyone that loses to the French
That would be all of Europe.
Which makes it even funnier to remind them of when they choke

Da Homey wuz qweans n shiet
Whitey really needs to pay reparations for massacring those mostly peaceful slavers. It's an outrage.
The massacre was the reparations. You're welcome, Africa.
