Lol from the article:

But some experts warn against making additional assumptions beyond gender. The artifacts could have been heirlooms from a male relative, they say, or were symbolic. Or perhaps the grave once held a second individual who was male. Her skeleton shows no obvious trauma indicative of battle wounds, but archaeologists of Viking graves say there are often none found on male warrior skeletons.

It's not even certain that it is a warrior.

See discussions on this forum when it came up in 2014 and 2017

My point isn't that she's pathetic or anything, good on the warrior girl. My point is simply that the article ignored the fact that basically all warriors have been men and the fact that they found ONE woman warrior just means men have been the victims of war.

I think you guys go too far in the anti-woman direction here. This isn't claiming it was the norm, it calls her wonder woman not 'the average woman'. The inspiration isn't an idea that women were all doing this but that men hid the truth and are oppressing them, the truth is just that women can do great and wonderful things, or even just things that they aren't known for doing as much as men are.

This isn't about the norm, this is about potential. This isn't women are so badass' in the sense that they are all like this, just that this is what everyone can aspire to be: whatever they want even if its not the norm and society (both then and now) says its not what women do.

You can easily flip this around for morality with men, just instead of focusing on gender roles it is about class or just 'station in life', and one of the ways station in life is assigned is via gender.

TL;DR Women are just celebrating a notable woman, can we not act like that is wrong?
