I suppose I should point out that I'm also a feminist. Your version
of "feminism" is what our enemies like to paint us as, not what we in
fact are. Don't be fooled.

The attempt to argue Esrolia's tactics via real-world example is
fatuous, IMO. There has never been a real-world matriarchy. Clearly
there is some mythical reason that Esrolia is different from real
places, and we should look for that, rather than argue whether
earthquakes can be used to disrupt cavalry charges.
