I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. If a woman walked up to me and wanted to join my group with a military impression, I'm not going to say no. She may have no interest in what women did. That doesn't demean women, it's her personal interests. So long as other women do that, so be it. I also will not encourage women to portray a male unless they choose to do so.<br>

Encouragement is the way many groups get what they need without mandating something. We can encourage women to portray female roles during the 5th Century (as in our group) but we don't keep them doing just that. After all, if we do that then we should require some men to portray slaves, servants, craftsmen, etc. After all, <em>all</em> men weren't soldiers<br>
