Question For Reenactors

Yeah Civility C I agree but if they can pass inspection and march load and shoot I say more power to em! I fought with a girl over a period of two years and in the ranks with her a couple of times before I realized it. She was really good (she had a real husky voice and this is what really fooled me). I even argued with some of my pards when they told me she was female. Told em they just weren’t secure enough in their masculinity to be able to admit that a teenaged boy could be cute!

Most of the females that pulled it off in real life though were pretty homily!

True, some do it alright, but there have been too many times where I have been to reenactments and seen too many females that were obviously female, in uniform. At the Bull Run Reenactment this year at Cedar Creek, I counted atleast five that were clearly women in uniform. I think its great that they honor those women that did fight, but don't make it obvious....its just not authentic.

Yes, I am sad to say that most women do not feel the need to play the role properly. I have seen some women who didn't put their hair up and didn't try to hide their... curves shall we say. It is a sad fact when non-reenactors complain about having women on the field, because it messes up the whole "time travel" effect.

Pardon? That's a bit of a delayed reaction.
