>>23500309thing is, if women actually fought, and they did, a lot more than people think, it was mostly the underclass women joining their brothers and husbands with clubs, flails and pitchforks
if these could find a helmet or even just a shield they were fucking lucky, cauze luck was the only way for them to get their hands on armor of any kind, other than killing people wearing it, which is what people did, actually
other than that, in any occasion that a woman might need armor, she would wear, just as she does today if necessary, ''male'' armor, cauze its just as functional on female anatomy, just as a woman can wear a army boot if its the right size, its not a ''male'' army boot, or a ''male'' helmet - even if some weapons were considered male or female in certain cultures, but thats not armor
and then firearms came along and all that
in fact, boobplate would be a bad idea for a fighting woman, in any case, as situations like that call for binding or supporting said boobs so they stay fixed and rigid, as running and jumping and generally moving a lot hurts if boobs arent rigidly in place, and in boobplate they would bump around and hurt from friction
also, amazons are said to have practiced ritual boob removal, just the left one, but any way
