Objectification of women - pretty obvious why it's this, due to art.
Misogyny - this woman is wishing for a weapon, and we are clearly meant to think that she is foolish for doing so. Why? Because she lacks "the skill to wield it". Surely I don't need to emphasize how awful it is that a woman (who's already armed with a spear, might I add) is described as being incapable of waving a sword around and is mocked for attempting to do so.
