Riiiight ... all you need to do is lift a sword. That's it.
Someone much stronger won't pummel the shit out of you, wear heavy armor on top of the sword so you can't do shit, send your sword flying and chop your arm off while you REEEEe about equity.
"TrUsT tHe ScIeNcE!!1"
Well to be fair these people have seen so many Netflix movies so a petite girl wielding a sword is normal to them
“But but but Guyladriel did it so I can too.”
Galadriel, the ephemeral, immortal, demigod being who's power and light are beyond mete mortal comprehension??
Of course stupid bitches would think they could compare themselves to her.
Exactly
"all you have to do is tap their sword with your sword and then it stops, it's magic"
I'd imagine a 90 lb woman could effectively wield a rapier... a 6ft claymore...not so much...
The weight difference isn't as much as you'd think. Length would be a big factor, but most swords were in the same weight range. Shorter ones were thicker and heavier for their size. A gladius and a rapier were roughly the same weight.
See, today I learned something new.
Thank you. 😀
Agree. Or like what Arya had in Ice and Fire
None of these people have actually experienced what it is to get hit by someone who knows how to strike. It dispels the illusions about gender equality in combat so goddamn fast.
Exactly
You'd think actual, practicing martial artists would know damn well how reality works out when you put men up against women.
Which probably suggests to me two things; either they're complete and utter LARPers in the worst way and don't really stress-test, women are so rare in thier hobby that it never gets put to the test, or they're just simping heavily.
It's a coin-flip either way, but I'd probably pick a combo of the last two.
Probably a combo of all three. They're probably mostly a gaggle of ren fair neckbeards who actively repel most women but will happily "m'lady" any who stick around.
They do. That's why there are countless age categories in tournaments and men and women have seperate events.
Edit: Here are the britbong fencing categories for example: https://www.britishfencing.com/gbr-fencing/age-group-definitions/
Yup. I've helped out in a number of tournaments. It's always interesting to see how the age/gender divide works out.
Hint: You really don't see many women participating in tournaments, even when they're allowed in as white-belts, locally. To get any appreciable number requires you to start pulling from all across the country.
I follow some lady sword accounts and they’re pretty much tai-chi type shit with the occasional choreographed “sparring” session or like cutting wood and shit. Martial arts is a real stretch imo… more like dancing
Lefty Lucy college town and less-than-stellar choice of fundamentals, two strikes. Third strike is the prominent link to the Code of Conduct on their home page... said document has scarcely a huwyte man in it, despite most of the website showing huwyte guise fighting.
"The same weight as a baby" just gives me SAO vibes...
"That sword was my baby! Would you do that to a real baby?!" "Would I smash a baby against another baby to test its durability? Not typically, no..."
No one said that.
