I know people have mentioned it in the other 100 similar threads, but I do have to keep reminding people that this is fantasy, women can be as strong or as weak as they like. You shouldn't be playing the game as if you're roleplaying in the middle ages, that's pretty strange. Yes women by nature are weaker, yes women bla bla bla, but who cares? Like, really, who cares? If I played BL tomorrow and the women are as strong as men, I wouldn't bat an eye lid, why? Because I really don't care and don't double look these things - it's bloody fantasy for crying out loud.
If BL was striving for historical accuracy, I would agree that it wouldn't make sense (much like the backlash BFV got on release), because that's how history was, but it's not striving for historical accuracy, so people should treat it as such. Unless you're going to tell me that Calradia existed and I've been wrong about history this entire time.
