In all the paintings appeared different bodies, diversity, women and men in makeup or in costume. The theatre was everywhere, the question of genders as well.

Contemporary accounts have also suggested that Joan\u2019s decision to wear male clothing in war was more of a practical decision rather than an expression of \u201cgender fluidity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.joan-of-arc.org\/joanofarc_male_clothing.html\">According<\/a> to the Joan of Arc Archive, wearing male clothes provided her with increased protection from being raped and therefore to protect her chastity at war and while in prison given that the pants she wore could be fastened together with her tunic, making them harder to pull off.<\/p>\n<p>She is additionally reported to have said that she would have reverted back to wearing women\u2019s clothing if she was imprisoned in a place where she felt safe from being sexually attacked by her captors.<\/p>\n<p>It is also claimed that the decision to wear male clothing was initially prompted by suggestions from male companions, rather than a manifestation of an alleged gender-bending desire.<\/p>\n<div
