    Holy shit that armor and poleaxe are shockingly historically accurate.

    Talk about going the extra mile!

          If you aren’t confused then you’re not paying attention.

          There was indeed that one time.

          What was the second time?

            There was Caterina Sforza, who personally took Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome and held up a Vatican conclave.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterina_Sforza

            To be fair she might not have been wearing armor at the time on account of being seven months pregnant when taking the fortress.

                  Neat! How many of those are women in medieval armor?

                  Just, you know, women were not eligible for knighthood throughout medieval times.

                  Is this you arguing that female knights were as common as male knights? I’m just checking what we’re arguing here exactly.

                  If so, how many female warriors at all took part in:

                  A) The Napoleonic wars

                  B) Alexander the Great’s conquest

                  C) The Battle of Kadesh

                  Are we arguing that women were always as violent as men and were never excluded or subsumed in society since the dawn of literally “man”? Is that what we’re doing?

                    Imagine being this offended by a drawing of a woman in historically accurate armor

                    The fuck?

                    You seem really offended that women were underrepresented in historical conflicts. You’re going to have a hard time finding anyone who says otherwise.

                    What I am saying is that women have worn armor (even for non-ceremonial purposes) at a few points in history.

                    At the end of the day, you’re the one getting butthurt about a comic on the internet.

                Are you really doing the “oh, so you like Beyblade? Name every character from the animated series” kind of knowledge quiz? Come on, bud. I know you can be better than that.
