Re: [Mid] Intro to Midbridge

>>but I find it very
sad that the SCA imposed such disgusting bias upon its own ladies in the
modern age.<<

I'm not so sure that it was "imposed" so much as, ummm,
overlooked, sort of. There was no mandate from On High
saying "Women Shall Not Fight"; it was more of a thing
where a lot of men (not necessarily a majority) refused,
by themselves, to allow women on the field. After a bit
of pushing by a number of other people, the BoD finally
said "There's no official reason not to let 'em fight."

(What _I_ find disturbing is that there are still some
male chauvinists around; I was talking with one about
five years ago who said if he ever ran up against a woman
on the list fields, he'd sooner yield than fight her.
Harumph!)
