For all the people who are now going to whine about 'functional' armor, consider this quote from the Sword of Truth novel series. "Whether they think me a spirit, or a naked woman on a horse, they will stare. While they are staring, they will not be killing our men. But we can be killing them."
I don't think this is sexist. Just ask He-Man, Ax Battler, John Carter, Hercules and Conan about armor. The gods of war often seem to bless their chosen with swords and skin of steel...
