why are female vikings always depicted in shows even though theres zero proof of them?

It's more than that. It's a similar type situation where they have Africans and Asians in programs about Britain even going back to the medieval periods and black Vikings etc. They had a black King Arthur why? It's not based on reality but more to do with being PC. I hope this sort of thing stops.

While there might have been women that did fight in battle it would not have been the norm due to the physical differences between men and women.

And though extremely rare, women would be used as last resorts, not active participants in front lines, from example, women of cimbiri and teuton tribes fighting the romans off as a last resort AFTER the men had been defeated, they tried to protect the wagons but to no avail, ultimately they all committed suicide and killed their own child to avoid slavery

Yes I would think so. Also women would be just captured and be used for sex. It just didn't happen in reality.
