Barry, that’s too strong a claim. One of the early legends of Amazon warriors said that they were women who had removed a breast to allow for better archery … but in popular usage, the word has come to mean simply fierce female warriors, or even just strong, powerful, combative women of any kind.

Yes, the word amazon means without breast. Amazons had one breast removed to allow for their archery to be unimpeded.

Note that it’s not uncommon for natural blondes to have darker pubic hair. Man, Frazetta obviously loved painting women.

Sunya, that’s not what I was talking about. I was contrasting these Amazons to their nearest analog in popular culture, which is the body-builder women who are mostly starved, steroid-soaked, bulging-veined, testosterone-ravaged parodies of people. Whatever that’s all about, it’s surely not self-defense; it’s a form of extreme body modification that’s not, to my eye, attractive.

Muscular… YET attractive?

That’s so mean. It seems bizarre to penalize women for being, you know, able to defend themselves, or otherwise not total pushover wimps.

I thought Amazons were usually missing a tittie…
