    In terms of the start of Fantasy as a genre you've got Tolkien and let's just say it doesn't seem like he liked girls much. Archers? Elves, and at least a seemingly egalitarian society in a lot of ways... but the famous one in terms of combat, especially archery, is Legolas - a man.

    Swordplay/close range combat in general? I can't think of a single woman that participates, honestly, even with a dagger. I guess you could count the hobbit's shortswords as daggers but they're all guys too.

    Magic? You've got Gandalf and the other wizards, Sauron, more elves... with the exception of Galadriel who I don't believe engages in combat in the books the only people who work magic at all are men.

    The point of this ted talk about books I haven't read in like 15 years is that this concept of gendering jobs based on some kind of origin myth is stupid and outdated, stop furthering it. It didn't matter then and it certainly doesn't matter now.

    In the immortal words of one Michael Jordan, "Stop it, get some help."
