      in addition to the obvious point that noteworthy exceptions are noteworthy because they're exceptional; sailing ships had cabin boys (sometimes as young as eight years old), but for good reason they weren't expected to work the capstan or man the pumps

      1) Historically, Indigenous whalers spanned gender. Did you read the bibliography? 2) Historically, the Jersey Devil didn't exist. Did you read that this is an alternate history #ttrpg? 3) Historically, TTRPGs were written for men. Did you read that this is an inclusive game? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1435583513462456322 …

      24/ Downthread I specifically called out how alternate histories can explain some things, @ZweihanderRPG , for example, if you wanted to have black royalty in the UK, that could absolutely work, but they CAN'T be used to handwave "suddenly women have 3x upper body strength".

      26/ the graph shows, looking very very closely, TWO seventy year old women who have slightly better than average 70 year old men But, yes, adventurers are outliers. I like this view. what woman matches an outlying male adventurer? absolutely none.https://twitter.com/sarcastic_kilah/status/1435655521508347907 …

      An interesting thing about this chart is the outlying observations showing some women above the curve for men. Aren’t characters in TTRPGs by definition outliers from the norm in their setting? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1435583658639904768 …

          28/ Also, when we pair this with the point that @sarcastic_kilah made, that adventurers are all outliers, the great data that @metricReject provides shows us that not even elite female athletes could be adventurers. Again, absolutely great data. Do you work at Cato, btw?

          28/ suddenly @sarcastic_kilah doesn't like the information that he himself brought to the debate fascinating problem is, though, that Gaussian distributions don't work that way if we assume all the men are +2 std dev outliers, then only +4 women match https://twitter.com/sarcastic_kilah/status/1435659591845433346 …

          29/ So, sure, I can posit ONE woman cowgirl per 100 or 200 men and that's fine - our actual history shows things like that, at about that rate ...but we get back to the fact that TTRPGs are gender denialists bc they always show a 50/50 mix
