Well?

My take is that form emphasizing female plate armor makes perfect sense in some sort of counterfactual world with 15th century tech but 21st century sexual norms, but only for ceremonial purposes. Unlike the codpiece, it's not only useless for defense but actively undermines it.

But also 99% these armors show up in contexts alongside magic and dragons, so nitpicking and crying about them is fucking stupid because they look really good and the whole appeal of fantasy is that it's allowed to ditch the boring limitations constraining our reality for the sake of being more interesting and exciting.

The only accurate armor set for a medieval lady was no armor at all. When Joan of Arc was on trial, she was accused of cross dressing for wearing armor.

Which was refuted in the same trial. She was never convicted of anything for wearing armor.

The refutation was based on the premise that she cross dressed for her own safety in warzones. My point is that women did not wear armor

Yeah, that's the reason why anyone wears armor.

>My point is that women did not wear armor
Unless they needed protection in battle, which was rare, but still happened.
