I beg to differ. While the feats for Ernalda are questionable in their usefullness, the concept of an Ernaldan PC is, in my opinion not. Certainly of less usefulness in some "go cattle raiding and bash some lunars" contents. But, as, for example, a Sartar campaign proceeds, and the politing amongst the potential Argrath's emerges, an Ernaldan would certainly have the potential to come into their own.
So, to me at least, it is not about Vinga - good, Ernalda - bad.
It's about options. For male characters we have a range of options, both combat and non-combat. The non-combat options for mfemales are there. But the combat options are more limited - and with the changes being suggested to Vinga your female PC options are "wierdo", "psycho" or "non-combat". Which is less than is presented for males. And that's the problem.
