So, I have women with the same training, arms, armor, and skill set as men, but they are still women and face unique challenges. I must admit, I skim lightly over the issue of menstruation, though that's certainly a factor for women of fighting age. I leave to the reader's imagination the issues of cramps and pads. It's really not the stuff of high fantasy. On the other hand, PMS might come in quite handy in battle. Mine would have.
