It was a fucking struggle for EVERYONE, we're talking about a time you could be burned as a heretic because you discovered science over saying it's all magic, plagues decimate entire societies and you could starve to death because of a bad harvest.
I also dont think your average person realizes how heavy armor and swords are. There cant be many women capable of carrying 100 lbs of metal on them everywhere they go. But thats sexist of course to say that the human species favors bigger males and smaller females for some odd reason.
I know its all divide and conquer. But I cant help but feel bitter sometimes. 99% of the people who fucked me over during my work injury were women, and they seemed to enjoy belittling me. A bit of Napoleon syndrome I guess.
I was a big boy even at a early age, and my momma used to read me stories about king arthur and she would tell me that I should use my strength for protecting others. (Some of that white supremacy the government seems to be terrified of. )
These people have never contemplated true power or what it takes to wield it, and not let it wield you. No wonder they power trip, well like little bitches.
Midieval soldiers kit was actually much lighter than modern soldiers' kit, our body armor is very dense compared to plate and chainmail. And our 100 lb kit weight factors in the pack and all the ammo and such. A sword is lighter than a rifle and takes no ammo.
Women moving around in midieval armor is still a joke though, that stuff is cumbersome as all get out and you'd be moving in it for hours.
Halve that weight and you've got a more accurate number. And that's if you're wearing full plate or mail, not leather. The actual argument against female soldiers in a medieval world is because combat is inherently adversarial: you have to be strong enough that your opponent cannot simply overpower you. It's not the equipment, it's the guy who is bigger, stronger and faster than you.

But no, 'women most affected' mindset steps in..
Ironically the plague in the Witcher games is Ciri's fault after she travelled to Earth in the dark ages and brought it back with her.
Plague kills untold thousands/millions, Ciri most affected.
Plot Twist: The game is actually about a shareholders struggle in a bankrupt world.
