>Ryan, aka "Jabberwock" makes armor. He therefore knows more about armor than I do and maybe more than you do.
>He has noticed, as you might have, that the armor that some female characters wear in video games, comics and movies is ridiculous. Some of it is not.
>Well, what can he tell us about ladies' armor, both the real kind and the glorified tinsel that we see in some of the world's most popular fantasy fiction?
>One lesson: we should barely be able to tell the difference between the shape of functional men's armor and functional women's armor.

>male-dominated video games should receive enforced gender equality policy
>I say nothing about unrealistic male depictions in female-dominated media
The hypocrisy is staggering and should be justifiably ridiculed. Feminism is disgusting bigotry.
