•since Ragnarok as a whole wasn't taken seriously the gods decided to agree on account that all the fights should be pretty woman so they can essentially just gawk at them but also for brunhilde to struggle finding any fighters at all. this obviously backfired on them but that's a future thing

•i also hc that the goddesses in ror have either lost their will to fight or just never had them. if the gods never had a threat on earth, it would justify this level of pride and just relax them into pacifism or a 'let the others handle it' attitude. it's the blood thirsty gods looking for a fight that actually fought. maybe it's cause of some sort woman should sit and look pretty mindset or maybe most of the greek goddesses just don't exist besides moves but I would like Ragnarok to be a bit of a waking call on the au

•another thing is that the female fighters essentially had better things to do. besides the ones that just didn't care enough or had the mentality that someoen else would do it, most of them weren't just fighters. they were woman who were rulers and had families to care about (as cliche as that sounds), most had tragic ends and had finally reunited with their loved ones and didn't wnat to give it up to a battle that (in their minds) was already was decided. Artemisia might've been a coward for giving up before the round even started but she had a point. this is why there are so many (albeit comedic) posts about Brunhilde and göll recruiting the fighters. it kind of just boils down to that one meme of why women live longer than men

•buddha still gets to fight on R6 on account of the technicality the human fighters on side of humanity need to be women. no one said anything about immortals.

Happy women's day!

Princess Khutulun was proving that women can be stronger then men 100 horses at a time!

“In the early days of the Eurasian steppe, knowing how to use a bow and ride a horse could be the difference between survival or death. Wolves, enemy tribes, and other dangers lurked everywhere. “You’re pretty much out on the steppe by yourself [so] the men had to learn how to do the women’s jobs and the women had to learn how to do the men’s job,” says May. While men traditionally protected the camp and women cared for the tribe’s herds, everyone had to be ready to pick up the slack, especially if an enemy tribe decided to raid your own. “If you’re living in a group of 20 people and another 20 people ride over the hill and they want what you have, whether that be water or sheep or you name it, anything, it would be silly to have ten of [your] people just sitting on the ground,” says Greenland.
