Reality in ww2 normally didn't include females. that's a fact.
He's right. And good reenactors strive for authenticity. In their uniforms, insignia, gear, weapons and tactics, even the personal effects they carry. So I can understand why they would not want to allow females on the field in a not period correct role.
Is that fair? Depends on who you ask. But it is historically accurate, and that is the holy grail - the golden rule of reenacting. Maybe hardcore milsim airsoft is the same way?
As for airsoft in general? Heck, the more who want to play, the better as far as I'm concerned, male or female.
