Why is the bow considered to be a girly weapon but guns are seen as a masculine weapon?
>>83464603>considered to be a girly weaponis it?I've never heard of that being a thing
>>83464603Guns are practical
>>83464603Bows are no fun, you shoot and kill your foe so they are very boring in fictional combat scenes and the hurr archers are sissy trope is authors saying melee fighters are more fun to write with.
all weapons are masculine, but girks can make them femmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmei think it has to do with when they are under a certain size and loudness, idk>5'1" young female wood elf [or russian] named like fuckin OLGA or something, casually drawing a 250 pound draw weight bow 5 times in 3 seconds with basically no muscle mass
>>83464603bows are typically stealthy and silent , perfect for an agile, light weight woman to use. its a pretty fun concept!
>>83464603Because no one uses bows anymore so they don't realize it requires a good amount of upper body strength, especially longbows.They look delicate at a glance as well, most guns look fairly brutish and utilitarian.
>>83464754It is strange how the bow was seen as a symbol of war and peak of masculine expression for thousands of years, but as soon as the firearm is invented, every bowman suddenly has a tantalizing pink pussyhole ripe for chad's massive marksman phallus. I believe it comes down to the fact that masculinity is defined by one's capacity to kill, rape, or destroy, and as the environment changes, so too does what defines masculinity change. When bows were the peak of ranged murder, they were masculine, but now that guns have taken their place, the bow has become an effete toy for metrosexual femboys to play with between mating sessions, their arses tense and quivering to milk whatever residual masculinity they can extract from a real man's seed.
>>83464603The sandal is more of a girly weapon than the bow. I'd know because my mom used to beat me with one.
>>83464777>>83464974Meleechuds have always seethed at rangechads though. There's lines in the Illiad where the Greeks are shittalking Paris and Hector for fighting with "unmanly" bows instead of squaring up 1v1, that's how far back it goes.
