In Legio XX none of our female members has expressed any interest in armor, though we have decided it's nothing we would oppose, particularly as one is a good rider and our only chance at a cavalry impression.
Somewhere I get the feeling that folks are denigrating women's roles in Roman society, a subtle form of 21st century sensibilities. For that matter, non-military men's roles are underemphasized as well. But I think most of that is just that it is a lot easier to explain yourself as a soldier than as a banker.
