Also, discovery of the tools of fabric production seems to indicate the presence of Viking women in L’anse aux Meadows, suggesting that at some point women made the crossing. Perhaps all Viking women were not quite the homebodies we now imagine. If we look at other periods in history, long before the modern era, we see outlier women passing as men and/or fighting alongside men in battle- women pirates, women soldiers, women in charge of the battles even. I doubt the Viking era was completely free of women who would rather swing a blade than sheer a sheep.

Just so you know, the long clothing the women are “forced” to wear now started in the later 1970’s. I know because my father was in the military and we traveled. I have pictures and remember the women there were in bikini’s and skimpy shirts and shorts in public. Just use your smarter than you phone and look up pictures of the 1960’s in any of the countries you are questioning. Be smarter before you text.

A great observation (some would label you a sexist) but not a popular one, Hollywood has created a generation who also believes in Werewolves, Zombies (the flesh eating one’s) Vampires and heroines that to come to the rescue of their much weaker and cowardly male counterparts) example, Hunger Games. This is nothing to do with fact’s but does set the sad tone for the desegregation of men’s and women’s roles in society. It has absolutely nothing to do with fact’s but does a good job of confusing the roles men and women play in creating a solid foundation on which society and marriage is based. Not to mention it sell’s a lot of books,movies and T.V. series. Take a look at ground combat roles in today’s military, the exception being pilots ,women are limited to support roles, as an ex-military man I am very grateful for them and the lifesaving missions they perform.. These are just facts, it today’s world “truth” , doesn’t carry much weight. We would rather see and hear the things that fit today’s political agendas.

Uhm sorry, but witch burning was in the middel ages, not in the viking age. I think that the vikings did actually appriciate “witches” as they could do healing magic and stuff.

How can you know that? You look more like a fitness man to me, and it looks like you dont know a lot about this, like other persons. I might not work with this, but I’ve read a lot about this, and sometimes i even live as a viking (allthoug “vikings” arent the right word, since that means some kind of pirate, and I dont know how to translate this from norwigean to english, but anyways) and to me it looks like you are just guessing, and that you think that men are super strong, and women can never be as strong as them, but that is nonsense. Actually, we cant know wery much about this, and diffrent sciencetists has diffrent meanings, but I, as a women, belive that it could have been female warriors, as we know about the valkyries, women who were taking warriors who died in nattlue to Valhall, and they did also decide who ro die and who to survive in a battle.

The ones overly pushing this “equal repesentation” are clouded by the feminist agenda, who want to stretch facts to meet their modern definition of equality and are letting their political point of view alter their perception of true facts. It isn’t “Toxic” it’s simply truth. It is what it is, not simply what you want it to be.
