Women in your groups?

[Tib. Gabinius]

The women in our group which want to fight is introduced in a role as gladiatrix soon.
My own wife is a civilian and like it. She dont have the need to fight or walk around in armour which cries for some maintains.
And thats it. We offer only these possibilities to women in our group. Either the historical roles or none.

And i agree to Ambiorix, that we miss more civilians (also male). I m more impressed by a good civilian than a good military.

I also cant see how it would be possible to give hundreds of euro, hours and work in the equipment to do it quite authentically like possible, just to "relive" it non-authentically.
That sounds hard, but thats just how we do it our group. We respect the opinions and kind to handle it of other groups.

Just in a single way, i do have a problem with women in uniform: on educationally events, like in museums, "roman days" or school visits. There the target is to show the visitors the possible of "how it was, looked like and was handled" and i think there are really enough others compromises and necessaries to modern times, to avoid that.
But, all in all, its just my opinion and i cant force it to others. Huh...i hope its clear what i tried to say.
