I think the women might be apprehensive but they can do it. I don't know who / what that woman was but the burned ones just seem to be people - who are now slower and mostly deaf and blind. As MC said, they seem to be mostly ambush predators and seem to mostly be attracted by movement. Other than their spray, they don't seem to be any more dangerous than badly wounded people. That's not to say there's zero danger, they have camouflage and are toxic but it's not like they're Predator.You appear to be missing the part where *sharpening* a spear is a good idea. Which the axe can be used for. Not only that, but when you can't be outside for long periods of time, you need to make use of indoor wood, most of which is going to need to be shaped down into a spear. That's not even getting into the nightmare that would be trying to make an indoor fire *without* smoke issues.
That's the point of the spear though. A club or bat is still going to release that fog because it's going to burst the pustules on their skin. But not only will it burst more pustules than the (relatively) thin point of a spear, you also need to be in closer to hit them. And in those instances where you do want to just knock them back quickly (which I'm not convinced any of the women in this story can do, considering all of the Burned Ones we've seen besides the Witch have seemingly been male), spears have a blunt side too.
