@Grikath Regarding not wielding seax and sword - I wonder if that's a response to women having less upper body strength on average, and thus funneling them into wielding weapons with more reach and a fighting style less reliant on brute strength? Similar to how Japanese samurai-class women had a different set of weapons, mostly based on the theme of staying out of sword's reach and not relying on strength to do damage.
