And underlying it all, the assumption that there is no way at all that a 'warrior' could be a woman and we must try every single way of thinking to avoid this.
because otherwise the idea would emasculate every single one of them.
I think all the male historians who had been so excited over the discovery of this important warrior man felt rather differently when later it was discovered to be a woman.
Isn't this a more interesting thing to ponder? As has been pointed out, one of the problems with applying gender ideology to the past is that it is anachronistic. People just didn't think in those terms until fairly recently. You'd have thought the academics would know all about that.
Oh didn't know that about Alice Roberts, I watch her programs she seems very sure about female and male anatomy! I read her clownfish twitter post, smacked of an academic posturing theory at the uneducated. They live such cloistered lives.
Funny how some privileged women are happy to pull up the drawbridge on other women once they've achieved success, or overcome their own battles.
