Let's discuss: Reenacting!

The People that give true reenactors a bad name..I have many very good yanky reenactor friends, but I thank God that stuff like that hasnt spread to such an extent over here and elsewhere, its in its death wows here and good riddance

After doing this for 8+ years, and growing up in the hobby, I think this summs it up;

"it's ultimately playing pretend. If you are being a jerk so much that you don't want to let a woman pretend to be a man pretending to fight in a battle, you have the maturity of a toddler."


And yes, as Duuring Knows Im stubborn, so no point arguing ^_^

Oh and Duuring, when you gonna join us here in Australia???

What are you talking about? We have just as much rights to authenticity as you. Don't forget that North America was settled in 1607 by Europeans. Don't pretend we know nothing of modern period warfare, because it has literally everything to do with every war fought on American soil. You don't know enough reenactors here to make that statement.

As long as she can pass as a man in uniform, let her reenact I say. Met some brilliant women reenactors that are often better and more passionate than the men

Exactly!

Ohh and my Dear Mr T, How be the weather in dear blighty? , Kinda confused here atm..cold one minute warm the next..

Every club ive met in California, including progressives, have happily let woman into their units as Rifleman, Gunners, Troopers etc. In every case of when ive reenacted out of state a majority of the units I have seen openly allow woman into their ranks. It varies by club how much they have to conceal their identity but most embrace it as a way to talk about a lesser known story in the period. You obviously dont have enough "yankee friends" to have a true understanding of what reenacting is like here.

It's been very nice up here Zac, bright sun, clear blue skies and warm temperatures, enjoying it while it lasts!
