Norse women were actually allowed to dress in pants and pick up weapons
training at the age ot 12.  Unfortunately they were strongly encouraged to
dress like a lady and put her weapons down in favour of a proper ladylike
life at the age of 20.  Some women actually defied their families and to
avoid being exiled they came up with a term "Man souled woman"  They were
not allowed to marry or hold any of the female responsibilities in the
community.  This happened so rarely I only found reference to it
twice.  I'll pull it up from the library and copy it again for all should
they want it. :)

Actually chocolate covered sushi sounds vile.  The two should never be
mixed into one. LOL
