Well, I would make sure to separate protection and armor there, because this isn’t just a female thing…
On the other hand there are some characters I can’t really picture in full body armor, hey ? 😉
So, okay, I support covering up the female paladins but that doesn’t mean that from time to time, showing up some skin isn’t appropriate, depending on the context, for both male and female characters.
For instance, I can’t picture fully clothed characters from Barsoom (from both sexes) 🙂 …
