Two separate statements. The quote is just hilarious nonsense, and I'm 90% certain Shad would point out good reasons that sword fighting was largely confined to the realm of men. (some already commented here)

As far as the literal claim they made pre-edit, that misconception simply doesn't exist, and their shutting down comments and weird edit reveals their own bias in arguing a strawman. I don't know anyone who hasn't heard of Joan of Arc. Nobody thinks swordfighters were all Conan the Barbarian. There are heavy swords and light swords, and the Royal Arms Museum probably doesn't have a sample of all swords of the world.

Now one part people may have misunderstood is what they mean at the end by "anyone who can lift is capable... of winning". Did they mean winning in a martial arts tournament or winning in real combat?
