Girl Crushes Gender Norms With Her Costume For School Medieval Feast, Inspired By Her Historian Dad

B) Finally, I would like to say that you have left many comments on this site claiming to use facts, but which are actually wrong. Whilst I absolutley disagree with whta you are saying, I am perfectly happy to hold a reasonable, fact-based discussion,(perhaps on debate.org ?). However, unless you can provide correct evidence for your arguments, I would appreciate it if you were to stop posting incorrect and sexist comments on this site.

C) CbusResident, I understand the point you are making about the Amazons. However, I refer once again to the Wikipedia article on women in ancient warfare. Here is a extract from the introduction, "Female deities, whose origins predate historical records, are present in most early cultures. Often they were portrayed as warriors, which signals a pervasive presence of women among such activities prior to a profound change in many human cultures after the adoption of agriculture as the typical sustenance". This list only covers events from 17th century BC to 4th century AD. Whilst, yes I did forget to cover that point, I hope that comment further explains that "the entirety of the world's soldiers being overwhelmingly male" is not actually a accurate description of the role of different genders in warfare. Also, I did not request that you stop posting, merely that you provide reliable evidence for your claims. In regards to the Roman and Greek mythology, many polytheism at that time

Cake, fair point, the Amazons were a Greek fiction not a Roman one (though didn't the Romans retell most of the Greek myths?). But don't you see that the point is that they are fiction? At no point in your two paragraphs have you demonstrated that female soldiers were a common occurrence in any of the thousands of societies that have existed in world history. I should also add, however this little girl wants to play is fine. But the entirety of the world's soldiers being overwhelmingly male is a historical and anthropological reality. As for not posting: request denied, and b/c you said that I plan to double my output of posting.

D) had many similarities, but the Roman civilization incorporated many beliefs to assist the integration of the civilizations they conquered. Also, I repeat my request for a discussion on debate.org, as the BP comments section is not the best place to discuss this matter.

Here is the SJW! you are so far off, men and women will never be equal, never! men are stronger than women, not because we decided that, it is called evolution, we were the ones hunting game and fighting wars, biology makes us like that. I am not saying women are weak, but between the two gender, they are the weakest. We are different, women are unique in the same way men are, we compliment each other and that is how it supposed to be.

"Female deities...portrayed as warriors." Again, those are tales, stories, myth. What Donald Brown compiled in Human Universals was based on factual evidence. Yes, you like the views on human nature (or maybe the lack thereof) from Margaret Mead, but have you ever considered that many academics like Steven Pinker strongly disagree with her views? Many biologists have called into question her assumptions, said the evidence doesn't support what she's claimed.

Women don't always engage in violence, although there is a rich history of female warriors. Womennare generally more cunning and slippery. There is a reason that poison has been said to be a. "woman's weapon". In many cultures, women took a more 'behind the scenes' role, but it allowed them to do a lot...spycraft, poison, subversiveness, guerilla warfare. "She's just a woman, she can't do that." Women want to go to war, great. Just realize that our brains and biologies make us more suited fo different roles. Nothing wrong with that. Just like sometimes the best man for the job is a woman; the beet woman for the job is a man.

Caoe, we all know that Wikipedia is always correct, accurate and true. No one has EVER dicked around with an entry.
