From the article:
"Late last year, an archaeological discovery of two women thought to be nomadic Scythians from around 2,500 years ago (4th century BCE) was revealed. They were buried in what's now the western Russian village of Devitsa, with parts of a horse-riding harness and weapons, including iron knives and 30 arrowheads."

It doesn't sound to me like the Scythians or the Vikings were into the elitism of men's camps (chauvinism), even though on a world-wide basis the men's camps in those times certainly out numbered egalitarian societies.
