That's a good point. But those those points technically realistic in the Dark souls universe.

And if we look at real history then it's a VERY rare occurence to see female soldiers and priests. It did of course occur, but european history tracks one of the first powerful, independent females in history to be Sofonisba Anguissola (a painter from the 1500s) and I personally think that that fact speaks for itself. So yeah, even the thought of a woman wearing soldier's armor or priest robes were close to impossible.

Not really a physical restriction but it's definetly a restriction.
