I think 'women did nothing' throughout history is one of those entrenched ideas that should be on the wikipedia list of popular misconceptions. And that makes it really hard for creators to challenge because people do them out for 'being unrealistic' when really it's just that the person doing the calling out has been taught a really partial version of history. I remember Ana and Renay had this convo about the way internet culture is portrayed and how it can maybe only be drawn in a particular way until people understand it better, because people are going to be jarred by any other depiction (jump in if I'm paraphrasing wrong ladies) and call it out. I think historical depictions have similar problems.
