There is a surprising amount of femdom and unapologetically horny women in Arthurian legend, while I understand this is because women were viewed as the more lascivious sex in the Medieval era, it is actually highly entertaining and (at times) refreshing to read in comparison to later literature and modern depictions of Medieval women as modest and chaste creatures with no agency. There will be a female character in a story who just wants to get her rocks off and is willing to do pretty much anything to get dicked down but she’s not framed as the villainess, just a horny. A temptress, yes, but not inherently ignoble or dirty for her sexual wants. The Vulgate Cycle is far more open about the sexual escapades of the characters than literary classics of the 19th century.

This is by no means supported by fact as far as I’m aware, but I remember reading something once that speculated that the “unicorns are drawn to virgin maidens pure of heart” originated as a bit of a joke, as the idea was that you would never ever FIND a unicorn because women who were both Virginal and Pure-Hearted were even rarer

Which is to say, like. “unicorns EXIST, it’s just that the only thing that can lure one is a pretty and kind young woman who hasn’t fucked and isn’t horny, so your chances of finding one are pretty much nil”

And whether that’s true or not I think it is a little bit funny, historical misogyny notwithstanding
