Neat! How many of those are women in medieval armor?
Just, you know, women were not eligible for knighthood throughout medieval times.
Is this you arguing that female knights were as common as male knights? I’m just checking what we’re arguing here exactly.
If so, how many female warriors at all took part in:
A) The Napoleonic wars
B) Alexander the Great’s conquest
C) The Battle of Kadesh
Are we arguing that women were always as violent as men and were never excluded or subsumed in society since the dawn of literally “man”? Is that what we’re doing?
Yes, I am offended that more women were not knighted and partook in the most violent battles in history!
Now what I am saying, from start to finish= I made a stupid joke, albeit historically correct, that the one other improbable thing about the image, apart from the naiads, was that there is a woman in armor.
That is it. Let me help you:
Descriptive statement = the sky is blue
Prescriptive statement = blue is ugly
See, I described something, stated a fact, and you are the one who took offense, you and presumably most other women here, because all you ever hear is the word “woman” and regardless what one says you’re like a kerberos gatekeeper growling at it because you’re just so ready to fight inequality at every turn, to the point where you can’t allow facts to stand on their own.
Are you equally offended by these statements:
A) Men are on average taller than women
B) Women on average live longer than men
C) Men are more violent than women. On average.
?
That’s what makes this funny to me, the fact how that you are so attached to labels that you will never accept any reality contrary to it.
Now if you just calm down, we can discuss it if you would like. Would you? Or are arbitrary judgments more your thing?
It’s not bullying, I’m not trying to insult you. At this point based on your other comment mentioning suicide I’m genuinely concerned for your mental health and physical well-being.
I don’t know. What does it say in those comments? I sure as fuck didn’t say anything else, until someone came along and tried to correct me with extreme outliers.
So you tell me, I have no idea what the argument is about myself, I have asked previously to have that determined, but got called names instead so I’m not sure what’s up or down here.
If you were trying to say that women in an armor were extremely uncommon, then comments about some of them existing should just reinforce your claim, they were so rare that you could probably list them all.
If you were arguing in absolutes instead, saying that at no point in history a woman has ever worn an armor, then bringing outliers to the discussion is a legitimate correction, since even a single one existing breaks the absolute.
In both of those cases, you asking for a second woman in armor or ten thousand male knights are non-sequiturs, because them existing or not doesn’t change anything in the previous statements. So one has to guess your point is neither of those, but a third one instead, which I really didn’t understand.
If I have to guess, the “argument” about you is that no one really understood the point of your comments, so they’re arguing with you about what they think you mean. Which is wrong, of course, but you should clarify that if you want to have a meaningful discussion. Making sarcastic comments doesn’t help clear up things.
Why would you pretend to be an incel. There’s much more satisfying ways to troll that doesn’t inherently make you look down on yourself. It’s almost like a form of self harm.
Are you really doing the “oh, so you like Beyblade? Name every character from the animated series” kind of knowledge quiz? Come on, bud. I know you can be better than that.
I was even more confused by that, because I couldn’t even see the comment they were trying to reply to. I only saw it when I tried to read the post directly from lemmy.world.
I think my instance must be filtering comments from lemmynsfw.com
I thought we were supposed to bring a herring? It was a fish right? Fuck did I bring the wrong fish again? These assholes won’t let me get through the forest to sell my fruit at the market and the amount of fetchquests they have sent me on is reallly starting to drive me crazy.
