No. They didn't. Just like with this bogus study, they found a woman buried with a sword and shield and basically filled in their own narrative.

Shield maidens (maiden here simply meaning non-married woman) were well-documented. It was basically an honorable role for women who were not married and had no children. They weren't warriors. They were basically squires on the battlefield.

This bogus study is further proof that science has been hijacked by the leftist agenda.

Nothing about that excerpt make sense. Quite literally nothing in anyone's genome that would provide insight on someone's gender identity. Can tell you everything you need regarding their biological sex though.

Read that yesterday. He may have had Klinefelters. They go out of their way to call this guy non-binary, say that we need to rethink the way we view ancient society’s views of gender and sex, and that gender is not biological, then proceed to describe the biological basis for Klinefelters and how men with Klinefelters present often with enlarged breasts for men, smaller testicles, maybe a smaller penis and infertility.

The article is a damn joke. He was a guy who may have had Klinefelters. He is still a guy. Even the Mayo Clinic defines those with Klinefelters as men. The logical reaching going on in this article and, apparently, by the so-called discoverers of this warrior’s chromosomal makeup is beyond idiotic and borders on dangerous.

Perhaps this man had thoughts about being a woman. Perhaps he didn’t. We know that about 3% of males in the world are born with Klinefelters. Apparently something like 0.6% of the population is estimated to identify as transgender. Most men with Klinefelters don’t even know they have it until they get older and start trying to have kids. All of this is incongruous with the assertion being made in the article.

Goddammit this narrative needs to go away.

Ya had me till then. Women were held higher in Germanic society but she-women arse kickers they were not. The dudes handled almost all of that. There has been an occasion of a female burial in early Saxon and Viking time of a woman warrior. Or at least a woman buried with a shield and knife. But some shield maiden hero leader there is no history written.


Boudica, queen of the Britons, says hello. Not necessarily Scandinavian Viking, but a similar type culture. Scandinavian Vikings had shield maidens and legends and myths surrounding female warriors and warrior goddesses.

Quite a few differences between Celts and Germanic cultures.
There's also a lot of myth surrounding Boudica.

Regardless, there's little to no historical evidence of widespread female warriors in any of those cultures.

Funny things happen when researchers are given a goal before they have touched data.

This is my life. Hey, can you find data that shows... xyz. YEP. You can spin shiat however you want, 75% of the time. :-)

Klinefelter Syndrome


So a genetic disorder

quote:

"biology does not directly dictate a person's self-identity,"


Biology with a genetic disorder along with village’s & family’s views on a male with a genetic disorder causing “low levels of testosterone, a smaller penis, undescended testes, enlarged breasts and infertility” forged this guy’s “self” identity of not being a true male.

One could easily think that He may have felt like a male but hid his biology because of what others thought of his genetic disorder.

quote:

In their findings, the researchers noted that the remains were "badly damaged" and that they only had a small sample to test. But through the use of modeling, they said they "found overwhelming evidence that the genetic data of the Suontaka individual most closely resemble an XXY karyotype."

Eunuch was definitely a thing for people near power it was pretty common. I don't think it was celebrated or honored. It was just done to make ppl safer... To work near a king or something, guards and general eunuchs are definitely in the history books.

Do you even Boudicca, bro?

quote:

Boudicca, also spelled Boadicea or Boudica, (died 60 or 61 CE), ancient British queen who in 60 CE led a revolt against Roman rule.

Boudicca’s husband, Prasutagus, was king of the Iceni (in what is now Norfolk) as a client under Roman suzerainty. When Prasutagus died in 60 with no male heir, he left his private wealth to his two daughters and to the emperor Nero, trusting thereby to win imperial protection for his family. Instead, the Romans annexed his kingdom, humiliated his family, and plundered the chief tribesmen. While the provincial governor Suetonius Paulinus was absent in 60 or 61, Boudicca raised a rebellion throughout East Anglia. The insurgents burned Camulodunum (Colchester), Verulamium (St. Albans), the mart of Londinium (London), and several military posts. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, Boudicca’s rebels massacred 70,000 Romans and pro-Roman Britons and cut to pieces the Roman 9th Legion. Paulinus met the Britons at a point thought to be near present-day Fenny Stratford on Watling Street and regained the province in a desperate battle. Upon her loss, Boudicca either took poison or died of shock or illness.

Considered a national heroine of England, Boudicca inspired numerous books and movies.

Not a Viking, not a warrior and and certainly not proof that women regularly fought alongside men. Cleopatra led armies too, but was far from a warrior.

These stupid bastards are going to rewrite history and the narrative will be that it’s always been woke and gay.

These people need to be crushed, purged, and exiled.

Not viking yes, but Celts are pretty damn close. Led uprising against Romans, very accurate.

quote:

Caius Suetonius Paullinus, a man in the aggressive mold of Ostorius, became governor of Britain in 58. He began his term with a military campaign in Wales. By the spring of 61, he had reached its northwestern limit, the druid stronghold on the Isle of Mona. Tacitus described the forces Suetonius faced: The enemy lined the shore in a dense armed mass. Among them were black-robed women with disheveled hair like Furies, brandishing torches. Close by stood Druids, raising their hands to heaven and screaming dreadful curses. For a moment, the Romans stood paralyzed by fright. Then, urged by Suetonius and each other not to fear a horde of fanatical women, they attacked and enveloped the opposing forces in the flames of their own torches.


seems like the romans were fighting women.

quote:

The speech Tacitus reports Suetonius gave may be a closer reflection of what he said, appealing to his Legions to disregard the clamor and empty threats of the natives. He told them: There were more women visible in their ranks than fighting men, and they, unwarlike and poorly armed, routed on so many occasions, would immediately give way when they recognized the steel and courage of those who had always conquered them. Even when many Legions were involved, it was a few men who actually decided battles. It would redound to their honor that their small numbers won the glory of a whole army.
