      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Samantha Shannon (Updates)

      I agree with Samantha - fantasy is about impossible things that violate the laws of physics, like magic spells, dragons, and women with sufficient upper body strength to hold their own against men in battle.https://twitter.com/say_shannon/status/1213413843365507072 …

      Dragons? Fine. Men who fight beasts? That's okay. It's fantasy. But a female character fighting with a sword – that's always one step too far. How dare a woman stand there with a sword, not wearing amour moulded to her breasts, not serving drinks or being sexually assaulted.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Wily Quixote

      2/ Are we talking fencing, where a huge number of artificial rules have been put in place to CREATE this, or are we talking, e.g. HEMA, where people wear armor and swing hard and hit hard?https://twitter.com/The_WarmMachine/status/1213853220730065186 …

      Replying to @MorlockP
      I've studied swordsmanship, strength matters in a sword fight, but speed, accuracy, and training are bigger factors. Yes, women can use swords, and use them well. I've seen women kick the shit out of men in sparring. Weapons are an equalizer in a fight.

      3/ I've got friends who wear plate and scale and swing real steel weapons against real steel armor and helmets, and the sport is dominated by big beefy viking types who can squat / bench / move massive poundages. Knocking people over / swinging hard enough to break bones = win.

      4/ We have women-only competitions in running, swimming, weight lifting, basketball, soccer, ... EVERYTHING. Hell, even *** CHESS ***. This is not because men are sexist. It's because evolution is.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted

      6/ yes, I'm willing to say that women can do well in fencing / fancy duels with tons of artificial rules. but the topic is "female fighters in fantasy novels " do orcs acknowledge the point loss when the foil touches their lamé ? https://twitter.com/inviiiscerate/status/1213854299647860736 …

      7/ I could imagine an offbeat fantasy novel where orcs DO ! That might even be fun to read! ...but it's the non-central fallacy if we're talking "female swords [ men ? ] in fantasy".

      Would you accept that some women could do well in battle? And around those few, that myths & legends would grow?
