You know what kills me about these morons?
Okay, let's leave aside whether the new She-Ra is a boyish lesbian or not for a minute. I'm all for that if that's what's happening. Way for progress! But:
THIS IS WHAT WOMEN LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY'RE WEARING A BREASTPLATE.

The boobies are located over the heart and the lungs. It's a good idea to protect those.
I question the bare legs, exposing the femoral arteries, but Bronze Age warriors typically did not use leg armour & you get the advantage of maneuverability that way.

You might argue, why not have armour shaped around her breasts? Wouldn't that be more comfortable?
Um, no.
Armour *moves*. Especially when it's hit. If you have indents around the breasts, those are slammed repeatedly into sensitive breast tissue, leaving nasty bruises.

We who have trained in ancient & medieval combat call that "armour bite." I was once hit by a car in my upper thigh. The bruise looks about the same. Black, big, and painful.
If it happens too much, it can lead to permanent tissue damage, leading to cancer or gland issues.

Better to shape the armour over the breasts, so it doesn't touch them.
So we can safely assume the new She-Ra has small breasts.
Which leads me to body type.
Dedicated female athletes (which I am not) often have small breasts. Constant training leads to low BMI.

Working those muscles also shrinks breast tissue, a good deal of which is fat.
This is why female bodybuilders are always getting boob jobs. They sort of have to if they want visible breasts.
Also, swords and armour are *heavy*. You have to build upper body strength.

So what does that mean? Big shoulders. Strong arms. Pectoral muscle. It creates more of a V shape. THIS IS HOW THE ANATOMY WORKS. And that's how it's *supposed* to work.
I'm built a bit like this (a bit busty, but then again, I haven't trained constantly since my girlhood.) My lovers have never complained.
Wonder Woman, I assume, is not built like this b/c Amazons have supernatural strength. Maybe they don't find swords heavy.

But I wish Hollywood would stop putting swords in hands of tiny, svelte little women who clearly trained low impact and for endurance.
You can't swing a sword well without muscle. It won't pierce the body of your enemy without building physical power.
That's all I have to say.

Wow, this is kinda catching fire, isn't it? Well, since it's traditional now, I'm a writer, and I'm doing a Kickstarter right now. The book has all sorts of kickass fighting women in it kck.st/2up40QR. I have a Patreon too patreon.com/SableAradia
