"... and daughters..." Lol

Couldn't see that coming. And I guess that 50% of duke William's army was female?

Kind of cheapens the later event of Eowyn disguising herself as a man and helping to kill the Witch King. Why should anyone be surprised if the armies were already full of women? Lol fuck this retarded show.

That's exactly what I thought. The fact that she pretended to be a man to break free of those norms was done in an endearing way and highlighted her being a woman will skills more. She also wasn't uber woman and did take hits and fall down hurt too.

When she said "I am no man", the entire theater clapped. Men and women. Because when you write a great character everyone claps.

Well, in theory it's not totally impossible that among the blessings the Nimenoreans received from the Valar was this one: Nimenorean women are physically different from regular human females.

As seen on screen. If they do that there will be a clear disconnect between the life in the city (where women are women) and the army.

How many women have you seen on that boat with the guards?

Don't take my comment too seriously.

In any case, the writers clearly can't make up their mind: is Numenor an enlightened society of gender equality or are they evil supremacists.
