Let's cut the crap boys...it really shouldn't be done as a rule.
That said, it is the 21st Century and obviously it will be done. If so, it should be done in a manner that it doesn't show. As all man are trained to spot women, it will stand out if one acts as a legionary, so hide well or simply don't do it.
I do notice an increase in women influx in the cavalry and am even guilty myself there of breaking the/my rule, allowing my doughter to do a cavalry impression. Now hiding her femininity is a near impossible task but we'll see what can be done.
If women want a historical basis to portray female classical warriors I would be keen on seeing more amazons in the Greek sense. And more Xena based impressions in the beer tent :grin:
