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?
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.

Buddy, meds. Now.
Now you’re straight up bullying me. That’s not cool.
I really don’t understand the point of this whole argument.
You wanted to point out how a woman in a knight’s armor is, historically, statistically improbable. Ok.
What did the other comments want to achieve? No one, at any point, argued that female knights were a common occurrence.
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.

Five people upvoted you without reading what you said. That’s my problem.

I mean, I tried to put good will in it but it seems it was pointless.
