Back when I was still sword-fighting it turned out to be harder for women then for men to get a sports-insurance. Male sword-fighters apparently have a less risky pass-time than female ones. Or in other words: the insurers were afraid that the female sword-fighters would get hurt.
Weird hunh ? As if I would get hurt when facing an opponent swinging 2 kilos of steel and my male counterpart wouldnt.

Come to think of it, the only injuries sustained during our training fights and real fights were sustained by... the men.
Sometimes I wonder what the insurers base their presumptions on.
