To be clear, I didn't say *I* referred to the Naginata disparagingly as a
"woman's weapon". I am quite aware of the damage one of these things can do in
the wrong hands. For more information, play Kyoshiro in Samurai Showdown III

Besides, to be honest, I would never scoff at the rage of a woman, or her
ability to viciously and systematically destroy anything she set her mind to.
