Women who fought in battle are sometimes called “onna-musha,” which translates to “women warriors.” You ain’t kidding, been married to one for 47 years.

Females did fight with this halberd-like implement they called a naginata, But that was usually last ditch, in the final moments of a collapse, after which the womenfolk of the defeated clan could expect to be handled roughly.

Just watch Netflix. The Samurai were 80lb black LGBTQWTFAI trannies who could beat up entire divisions of well trained and armed white males.
