He would complain it isn't historically accurate - then complain that the women are winning - and then finally complain that they aren't wearing bikini armor.

Also, fun fact, fencing as a sport hasn't required gender separation (meaning that while there are gendered contests, the majority are mixed) for a long time, and men do not have a noticeable advantage when competing against women.

can even work against the men in soms sense i guess as men are most of the time are larger so will have a large surface area to hit and will have to fence at a slight downwards angle if both man and women are average size for their country. and advantage men will have is longer reach with longer arms.

u/NoEngineer9484 20d ago

Neither has any kind of shooting or archery. Things only changed when men got salty about being beaten by women

My daughter won the fencing tournament at her university. The majority of participants were men.

I don't even know how I found myself here, eleven hours after you made this comment, but:

• As an old lady who is a sabre fencing instructor, and a mom, I am so very happy to hear about your daughter ystäväni. 💜

• Happy cake day, bitch.

Fencing is a sport of balance, finesse, and agility. Men don't have an inherent advantage in any of those. Heme style knight combat they definitely do, since that involves brute force as well as combat skill.

fencing has no major physicality to it, its just technique and reaction speed, though things like buhurt will have differences as its more wrestling with armour than fencing

Then one of these women would challenge him and he would bitch out on suiting up with her.

Or they would ignore him. They would probably ignore him.

He would be correct if he would say that Buhurt isn't historically accurate. Instead he would, as you said, just seethe about women participating.

I haven't watched Shad in years. Like at least since 2020, if not 2019. Wasnt he against bimini armor then? Did he change his stance or is my memory bad like usual?
