"Like, we used to [assign gender to human remains in archaeological sites] based on grave goods, sword = male, etc. Then we started doing bone features but you can't tell if you're looking at a woman or an AMAB with a wide pelvis. Recently we've started doing chromosome analysis but that's not reliable either.

"Basically there's a good chance that future archaeologists will gender us based on something we didn't even consider relevant, and I think we have a duty to confuse them by burying everyone with a sword."

Damn I wasn't planning to be buried but this is tempting.

Sword and frying pan -- let's really confuse 'em!
