And the Earth Kingdom, too. Ba Sing Se has at least one female-presenting grunt. We see her drop a boulder alongside a couple of men doing the same thing. I think the episode might be The Drill. Hence, all the sexist Earth Kingdom fanon bugs me. (Admittedly, it might still be sexist, but not as sexist as ficwriters make out.) Note also what Lao Beifong doesn't hold up as evidence of Toph's frailty. Also, the Zhang tribe is led by a woman. /derail, but I've been lucky enough not to see any fics where the Fire Nation is canon-breakingly sexist
