You can see the masculinity of Storm Bull but not Orlanth? What do you make of Orlanth's behaviour in "How Peace was Made" (KoS p72) or in "Orlanth's Wooing of Ernalda" (WF p82) then?
In the Genertelan Player's Book p17, one of Orlanth's attributes is "men's god" whereas one of Ernalda's attributes is "women's Goddess".

When has Humakt forbidden women worshippers? Londra of Londros would be most surprised.

Then bear in mind that Orlanth _shares_ the leadership of his people with Ernalda as King and Queen respectively.

Since when has anybody said this? The argument was over whether Orlanth Thunderous (associated with life giving fertility in Wyrm's Footprints) was such a male aspect.

Women who want to be warriors isn't a sufficient enough niche?
