davelicious posted...Probably because the imperial legion is a professional army where fewer women are likely to enlist for generic military service without a cause.
Not talking about the army.
The guards, typical, everyday, useless, hold guards.
In Imperial controlled holds, there will only be male guards, whereas in Stormcloak holds, there will be male and female guards.
Once again, in case it was missed... not the army, just the regular guards.
Aside from Windhelm, the guards in the holds have nothing to do with the armies, and have little to no allegiance to them.
Which, would mean, that since the Imperial army is hogging all the males, that Imperial holds should have a majority of female guards.
