Gareth Martin:

<< Is it your suggestion that women in trousers are not feminine?>>

    Not quite. I'm suggesting that a woman in a skirt is clearly feminine. A woman who dresses like a man appears less so. To Heortlings, of course, not in the 21C ;-)

<< Why is a warrior role incompatible with femininity such that some have to
abandon their sex and others are obliged to keep certain symbols of their sex?>>

     It clearly isn't incompatible, but its a strange combination to Heortlings, or the Vingans wouldn't go out of their way to demonstrate they haven't abandoned it.

<< Is there an equivalent Heortland custom of men giving up their sex? >>

     Nandan. Don't know what Nandani wear, mind.
