UH... no, it is true.
And the first post proposes adding female units to rosters, you need to read the post over. Protecting your children from being slaughtered by a no quarter foe is not the same as recruitment into an army. Moreover, the definitions of the words "warrior" or "soldier" are completely irrelevant here. Germanic cultures never recruited women into armies, it simply didn't happen. "Fairly physically capable?" From child bearing and gathering? Right....... do you know how much women sleep when they are pregnant? I suggest you pick up some books on anthropology.
Seriously, do you believe this statement above? This is perhaps the most ignorant historical statement I have ever seen in these forums. This is a gender identity comment, a trend developed in the popular Occident media in only the last 10 years or so. You can tell someone who doesn't know how to think by the inclusion of a statement like this."Warriors who rode until their testicles were damaged and sex drive dissapeared and started doing their hair in the mirror in the morning possibly. May have been common, with no stigma, to be a woman or somewhere inbetween, and ride and fight."
