Fair enough but we are talking about Glorantha here, not Earth. If we can suspend our disbelief long enough to have Ducks running around worshipping Hueymakt and seeking out the minions of Kwakboth <g> then surely we can allow Gloranthan women possessed of a physical prowess matching or even exceeding that of their Terran analogues without causing a Sunstop. I've got nothing against them using their brains but I do not feel that they should be excluded from the 'beefcake brigade' just 'coz they look better in a lamellar skirt!
If we were to question the captioned supposition then maybe we should also query the skills of an RQ character of aged 24 years who, in Terran terms, is only 19?
Cheers,
Peter
