Yes, and?

Is there magic involved? Because I least then you're already suspending some of your belief. Maybe a godess went around and used her magic to make everyone libertarian?

>>51316704
It's the author fantasy, faggot.
He or she get to decide if humans are in or they are replaced by magical skirt-wearing were-bears too despite medieval Europe don't have magic, dwarves, elves and wizards of any kind.

OP maybe the author just didn't wanna work with a setting where half the population was treated like shit. Obviously it's lazy imo, but it makes sense. If people wanted to read about how much it wicked to be a woman back then they'd read Jane Eyrie or some shit

>>51316704
>medieval Europe
Which part, and which time period? Some European states had a fairly highly developed set of rights for women, which extended to land ownership, equal status, and an age of consent higher than most countries today. Just saying 'Europe' and 'medieval' isn't enough to discount either thing.

You know what women in medieval Europe didn't have? The ability to shoot fire out of their fingers. People tend to stop pointing out how women are weaker and can't be warriors when they're on fire.

Interesting OP! So women in your setting would be considered the intelligent, 'moral' center of the family with control over finances and child rearing, as it actually was in the middle ages?

Y'all are idiots for dogpiling on a bait thread.

>>51316848
So has a lot. If a word gets too politically charged it stops functioning for a while until we can degauss it.

>>51316704
I've been told (without irony) that any work of fantasy that fails to address modern feminist issues suffers from a major lack of creativity on the part of the author.

>>51317629

Well, given that women have -4 str, but have bonuses to charisma and dexterity, they would actually make better spellcasters given the stats. And given that spellcasters can bend reality and reshape the world while a martial can just swing a stick harder, it should be that women are actually the magical wizard rulers of any fantasy setting that has magic since they can just fuck over any martial or competing magical character.

>>51316704

Some of us just get tired of the "proving she can be just as good as the men" plotline. It's pretty played out and always shows up any time pre-modern social norms concerning women's rights are used in a setting.

>>51316855

when will this meme die? People are treated worse in todays world than they were in many past civilizations like the Persian Empire or the Grand Khanate.

Or in a historically accurate plot-twist:
>Average age of marriage is 25 for women
>They are absolutely allowed to inherit land and manage it, as well as inheriting wealth.

Seriously, check your delusions about medieval times. They were both worse and better than most people think.

>>51316878
Sexism is a mechanism used in cultures where death ratio is too high so they can't waste precious uterus and ovaries working, fighting and dying so they are better expended procreating nonstop. Since Medieval Europe had a high death ratio a Medieval Europe setting should also had a sexist society.

Kek, the oldest 'human rights' document is the Code of Hammurabi. I'm only putting 'human rights' in parentheses because that term itself is anachronistic. And let's not forget the king of France in the 13th century declaring nobody on French soil will be a slave (conveniently 3 centuries later the colonies were not really considered French soil making that declaration moot there, but if theoretically a slave made it to France he was a free man. England did the same thing in the 1600's I think, declaring English air "too pure" for slaves to breathe that statement must've felt really silly in the 1800s which might explain why the British abolished slavery in the mid-19th century: their air was now so polluted, all the air on the planet had in relative terms become too pure for slaves. Deepest lore.).

It's not really human rights, more like an official codification that nobles were better than you and faced less severe punishments for everything.

Everytime I play on a Medieval setting I behave medieval towards Women, children, non-whites, non-christians and strangers: I kick the shit outta them.

I like to show my fellow players how UGLY things were back in those dark ages.
I specially enjoy destroying the mood on any player who's behaving like in a LOTR setting.

If I happen to be the DM I focus pretty much in all my enviromental descriptions on the smell, the ugly hairy women, the misery, the sickness of it all.

There were no beautiful women, no white healthy teeth, no tall people, nothing... just pure shit and everything tasted and stank like shit.

Because as we all know, medieval times consisted entirely of northwest Europe and nothing else. Arabian, Semitic, African, Indian, Chinese and Japanese people didn't exist. They certainly didn't have their own medieval periods, or anything.

In medieval Islamic societies, the qadi (Islamic judges) usually could not interfere in the matters of non-Muslims unless the parties voluntarily choose to be judged according to Islamic law, thus the dhimmi communities living in Islamic states usually had their own laws independent from the Sharia law, such as the Jews who would have their own Halakha courts. Islamic empires allowed non-believers to have their own laws and courts in exchange for a Jizya poll tax.

>Xenophobia was abundant in bumfuck villages and towns
"Xenophobia" was rampant everywhere and still is rampant outside of the West purely because it's not a "phobia", it's the standard mode of dealing with strangers: acknowledgement that they are not part of the in-group. Try going to a country like Japan today: they're not racist (because they view both race and racism as Western affairs) but they're not going to accept you as Japanese. Even if you have children with a Japanese woman, they will only be accepted as kinda Japanese. Because the Japanese are aware of what they are and who isn't part of "us".

>>51320718
To be fair japanese friendships are a serious shit. If you are gaijin or halfjapanese you more likely to leave japan one day and people who were their friends would lost an important part of their lifes. It's safer to spend time in having friends that would never leave the country. Or at least that's the japanese mentality.

The rights of women fluctuated wildly throughout various time periods and cultures. In some they were nothing more than chattel, in others they could own land and had hereditary Inheritance rights. This isn't like we wuz kangz, this is basic and coabberated Europe history. Ever read Chaucer? The Canterbury tales? One of the tale tellers is a wealthy oversexed cougar land owner whose had like five husband's and describes at length the necessities of a husband being able to "perform" to get at her money.

Medieval society was not the Old World of Warhammer. Things were shit because things have always been shit. But the racism you're thinking of did not exist, nor did nationalism. There was xenophobia but it was based on culture and religion more than skin color. Sir Palomedes in Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur is a dark skinned Saracen but treated like yet another knight. Rodrigo Diaz 'El Cid Campeador' allied with Moors to fight off the Berbers in Spain and is portrayed as more honorable for doing so, not less. Torquato Tasso's La Gerusalemme Liberata portrays both Europeans and Saracens as honorable knights. Examples of this are endless.

Read any professional historian about the era, from Christopher Dawson to Johan Huizinga to even JRR Motherfuckin Tolkien to see this. Stop projecting your presentism onto history for not following expectations it never was attempting to follow in the first place.
