What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a woman in Mount and Blade: Warband
I would like to know if there are any advantages or more disadvantages of being a woman in Mount and Blade: Warband. I know for example you need more points to become vassal (I believe it's called) and you need more points to get a fiev. Now I also know its harder to become an actual king. Are there any advantages of being a woman?

From my experience playing the game, playing as a female character could be considered the "Hard Mode" within Mount and Blade: Warband. It's less of a disadvantage and more of a way to give a challenge.
They have a unique way of getting Renown as well, but it could be a gamble:
If you counter a lord's remarks about you being a maiden, it is possible that you may get Renown for this due to them admiring a quick tongue and an equivalent wit. However, they may also lose relations with you, try to duel you, or even send their army at you. [[1]]
Overall, it's more of a way to make the game much more difficult than it is as a male character.

Answer 2
If you're using the mods that allow you to control the garrsion of the spouse, then being a woman is an insane advantage. It means you can have an indefinite amount of troops without paying their wages (even their half wages).
This is also possible for men if one is playing a mod where female lords do exist (e.g. Clash of Kings with Asha Greyjoy, Maege Mormont et al). However, it is significantly more difficult to marry those (you'll probably have to be in the same faction first).
Though to be honest, this is quite gamey and could probably ruin the immersion and make the game a bit too easy.

How the game mechanics work may vary by version/update for female toons. I played version 1.1.72 as woman and and man both and noticed little to no difference in renown gain. I did notice that in the 1.172 as soon as renown was 150 or more vassal and a fief was offered by the king of the territory I was in via messenger (neutral or positive in that faction ). I too noticed a difference in the response options for female toons when talking to lords . I suspect, but have not tested, getting a positive result will ( like capturing lords in battle) depend in the fellows personality. Wiki fandom has a personality chart that allows you to figure which lord has what personality by their first comments at meeting you (prior to merc or vassal in that lords faction) . Character builds 6: 2 female , 4 male. 1 noble 1 non on the gals.
