    People like you forget that the vast majority of men have never participated in war. Most men, like women, subsisted on manual labor.

    Your ‘sexual dimorphism’ claims are a tale as old as time made by prejudiced anthropologists with the same pompous attitudes about gender. See this NPR article to get your facts straight.

    None of this changes the fact that we are taking about fantasy, where female representation is deemed more far fetched by misogynists than the existence of elves and magic. Something that has literally never existed before somehow has more credibility and reason to exist than female combatants who have actually existed.

    This is the state of gatekeeping in the fantasy genre. If you think that there isn’t a problem, you are part of the problem.
