-- [ From: David Christenson * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --
So, if women are naturally more given to lower-body strength, shouldn't
fantasy warrior women in female dominated worlds use a different style
of fighting? That is, emphasizing the legs rather than the arms. This
would entail the invention of interesting knee- and foot-mounted weapons
, leaving the arms free for shielding - but also ending the cliche of
the sword-wielding amazon. To wield a sword against an armored foe is an
upper-body-strength thing, methinks. Just a thought.
