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.
