What I am saying is that you cannot discount the role magical gear and materia plays with the heroes. These are used specifically to augment the wielder.

3) The divergent physical and mental evolution of the races is a fact and ties into traits they found advantageous and attractive in their environments. You cannot simply discount these because it’s fantasy - that is awfully poor writing, and SE have never done this. You are taking exceptions and trying to present them as violations of this point when there are better alternative explanations to hand.
I just fought along side some random lala in a fate wielding an axe dropping monsters twice her size.
I just think you are more willing to allow women to be more flexible in fantasy than men.
You have female viera who are describe as strong warriors.. however you dont care that they are walking around mostly nude. BUT MEN oh boy they live alone in the while and they have to be rugged? Come on.. Give me a break.
