They aren’t devoid of all men if they take direction from Volodymyr Stepanovytch the ancient seer of Carpathia.

is this serious. I mean, are they fucking retarded?

THEY HAVE A GUY IN THE GROUP. the karate master. If women were all that, wouldn’t’ they have a karate master who’s a girl?

And anyways, why not just use fucking guns.

This is for the person that calls himself ‘dumb ass’. These women have mothers and sisters, and have themselves been beaten, raped and sold into sex slavery by men. Can you have some compassion and use your sarcasm in more appropriate situations? Think of what desperate measures you might take if you were in their shoes; if it was your mother or sister that disappeared and had their life stolen.

This is fantastic. I admire these women and there is no shame or irony in learning violent tactics from a man to protect themselves from further outrage. Their radicalism is the kind of thing that pushes mainstream dialogue forward.

Although I generally ignore dumbasses, guns do not provide the mental force that hand-to-hand training does. Resisting the kind of insane oppression these women face no doubt requires all the mental and emotional fortitude they can muster. It is not an easy path they walk, but one of heroines.

We are in the 21st century, not in ancient Greece. It’s good that they learn martial art, but those weapons change the color of this training, it’s like they’re preparing for war. Amazons??? Those, at least, had excuisit bodies, but these are a bunch of crazy women who had some traumatas in their lives provoqued by some morons and now they are playing ninja with scytes and axes. Like this is what the world needs: war between sexes. You had a traumatizing experience, you go to a psycologist and get over it (although, for some women, this is impossible), but they shouldn’t turn to this kind of anti-men moving. More exactly, why are you trainning? It’s not like you could go and decapitate those ass-holes that hurt you? One more question: do each of you plan to get over your trauma and star a relation with a man at some point?
I don’t know if my questions will be answered, but violence is not the solution, or transforming yourselves in some kind of warrior princesses, for that matter.

I forgot something, your amazoniuan activities (greek origin) doesn’t fit at all with your name: “Asgarda” (viking origin): Viking amazons from the Carpathians.
