      Before the Age of Gunpowder you really couldn't get around the fact that weapons were powered by human muscle and therefore strength is a factor with any weapon But you can reduce that factor with weapons designed to store human muscle power over time, like a catapult

      And, yes, like a crossbow as opposed to a longbow But for that exact reason crossbows tended to get branded as sinister or dishonorable weapons

      Crossbow is the real pre-modern ranged weapon for women

      At least the more sophisticated designs which came with a device or mechanism that made it easier to stretch the string. But keep in mind that the idea "weapon for woman" woul have been rejected as a whole by most medieval people

      "Women shouldn't fight" is related to issues of physical strength and capability but it's not solely grounded in them, arguably maybe not even primarily -- the angle of control over women's "reproductive value" is, I would argue, much more important

      i mean, isn't this the point of We Have Always Fought there have been women fighting in wars for as long as there have been wars it's just that the patriarchy is generally pretty opposed.

      and like, for a lot of weapons, size matters, strength matters, which is why every army is always composed of the tallest dudes with the biggest deadlifts, right?

      there's this janky martial arts video with an older, smaller cop and ex-marine doing knife work with a young, jacked escrimador cop: size matters, strength matters escrimador: yeah! cop: ...but also will to win escrimador: wait wait **gets run the fuck over repeatedly**

      and this is basically the thesis of On Killing: most people are actually extremely reluctant to kill another human being in warfare. so most of the killing in battles gets done by the few people who aren't.

      At the same time, that's why battles weren't necessarily won by one side killing a significant number of the other but just scaring them into surrendering or fleeing

          The War of the Roses had an extraordinary number of battles for how short it was, but the armies could still continued to be able to wage war because everyone retreated before they could sustain catastrophic losses.

          I like the point that democracy is just ritualizing war to the point where you take the war out of it You just count everybody who would be on each side if there were a war, go "Well we outnumber you", and they're like "Okay fair enough"
