The forerunners of today's NBA.
Should they sue Jeff Bezos?
The forerunners of Rush’s All American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahPwlOOKedg
Death by Snu Snu!
Naah, never mind. Too easy.
Bump for next week
I love to go swimmin
With bowlegged wimmin
And swim between their legs
I wonder if these women had a femputer?
So what you are saying is they are ineligible to marry Muslim men?
“Women’s pelvises are basically opened up because they’re riding horses.”
Maybe there WERE men around and their pelvises “opened up” because of childbirth?
We no can dunk, but good fundamentals. That more fun to watch.
It would make sense if you need to have your females take up arms to have them learn the bow.
They could also use them from shooting platforms behind fortifications.
A couple of waves of arrows hitting the enemy before you sallied forth with spear and sword would give an advantage.
Amazon women who lived 4,000 years ago, and these ferocious women were known for their male-free society and aptitude on the battlefield, especially with a bow and arrow. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Of course female warriors existed in the way back. They also exist today.
Women naturally by far make better archers than men.
That’s more or less what the British did against the French.
I thought you can’t tell gender from bones.
I believe that was what the Normans did against the Saxons as well.
Several arrow waves and you have left the enemy with a few holes in their lines, and hides without taking any damage yourself.
Women fighting with swords? For the most part, no. There might have been one or two exceptions but they would have been major exceptions. Close in combat against men they would lose every time. Distance weapons like slings and arrows? That works.
I thought they were supposed to be Scythians.
No, they didn't exist. It remains a myth.
This isn't to say that there wasn't the occasional butch woman who participated in fighting, or non-butch women who helped defend their village, town, or city in some fashion, it means there was never an actual tribe of fulltime warrior women.
It would help to see how different their shoulders and arms suffered from other women if that area and time.
Long bowmen of the Middle ages had distinctly stronger arms, usely one arm with more muscle/bone than the other as it took more strength to pull the bow into position and done so repeatedly from a young age.
One reason it was quicker to train men with firearms than bows.
