As someone on Reddit once said "Last abolish women from the game and have men and horses in a gay orgy, like God wanted". For real, the role discussion here turned out to be whether or not women should have rights... And its not like that thousends of mayors are spawning here and there, but the THOUGH of a woman, in this case a vassal, assuming matters on the direction of the Kingdom as what would look like a counciler.

Thats why the guy called the red-pilled mentality, cause seems that to some people "women" are ruining theur "historical immersion". As I said way back in the thread, female mayors are not a bug, christian female bishops might be (but you now, make a bug report in this case) and the game is trying to give playersmore flexibe mechanics in the core game, thats it! If you dont want your super duchess but her opinion on the, don't put her on the concil (and see what happens).

Again, this is NOT an attack on you people, just asking for to reflect on the matters less on what do you think that medieval ages were and more on what the game is trying to offer y'all. If you want to come here with a precise ideia of what women role on the middle ages was you can try to read the most important authors on the theme like Jacques le Goff and Marc Bloch (fun fact, this view of women as breeders that some people here put on thr middle ages is, in fact, a Renasceinse deal more than medieval Europe, so you go research guys, this is an amazing and surprising field, don't be afraid!).

actually if you want to read about Medieval History, don't read scholarship from outdated authors that confirms someone else's biases.
