      How exactly did longbows, known for requiring significant arm strength, end up becoming the Default Female Protagonist Weapon? Is it just Hunger Games?

      It's ironically an excuse to show more chicks with big guns, but sadly one which is not sufficiently capitalized upon

      The irony is the sheer strength needed to successfully use a longbow is more than that needed to use a sword, it's one reason that longbows were a "secret weapon" of the English, you couldn't raise a troop of longbowmen unless they'd been training since childhood

      But the thing is that fighting in hand-to-hand combat involves a lot of other stuff that women are typically disadvantaged by (mostly just sheer size and reach), especially women modern audiences find attractive It's easier to fake the archery

      The thing is, in a lot of the properties I'm thinking of, firearms exist. Definitely true in Hunger Games and The Last of Us, but both chose to make the female lead's iconic weapon a bow Makes less sense in TLOU than Hunger Games but still

      Yeah the coding of firearms as more masculine than archery is absolutely an irrational cultural thing

      Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder and Lead" is one of the best songs about guns, because it's about a gun being an ultimate equalizer of physical strength A woman who's been casually slapped around by her husband finally having enough

          I am not a pro-gun person, at all, but if I were I would lean on this argument more than any other -- that all the stuff that makes guns frightening is what's also appealing about them, that they make physical strength and numbers way less relevant Armed Gays Don't Get Bashed

          If I want to fight someone twice my size with my hands, or I want to fight two other people with my hands, the outcome is pretty preordained If I have a gun, or even if all of us have guns, the outcome is suddenly way more uncertain
