Interesting. Having thought about it (in't RAT BRILLIANT! :lol: ) I don't believe that I normally think of the quality of a re-enactor's impression, how convincing it is in terms of approaching what I picture as authentic, as being a qualifier for participation, only at worst an urgent call to improve it. After all, I tolerate for myself long hair without worrying that someone will think I'm a girl from the back view (which has happened in modern civvies!) or to worry that I don't get to explain the plausibility for our period if they think it a modernism but don't ask.
On a different tack entirely, I thought I'd say what it's like to experience standing shoulder to shoulder with women in the line or in the testudo, for those men whose groups don't do it.
