Interested in swords and bows?

So I follow some very smart people on Youtube, and one of them is Matt from Schola Gladiatoria in the UK. Following on from something I touched on in the post about Drizzt, here’s a video about stereotypes on the use of swords and bows in media.

He makes some great points about the notion that using a sword equals strength, and using a bow equals dexterity. Every fantasy author should watch this!
