They can't because of their monthly lady times.

Best zombie horror story I ever read had a female lead. The kind of woman that would casually strip the pants off a corpse after putting it into permanent rest to make pads and be completely non chalant about it.

Ooh that sounds good. What was the name of the story?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

The Huntress or something like that.

That's the same story from a different perspective.

It's all just the heroes journey.

Putting aside the added part, I've seen this quote ascribed to Tolstoy more than once, even though it should be painfully obvious it's not a real Tolstoy quote to anyone who read his books. So frustrating. It's a dumb quote too.
