Ares teaching his daughters to fight.

Thought the oldest would be Penthesilea and the little ones Antiope and Hyppolyte.

Captive Of The Hosta

‘The male in our midst was silent and fearful, for his weapons had once again been taken, and well he knew his usefulness was at an end, yet are Hosta not without a sense of gratitude. The male had served truly and well, therefore was he merely returned to where the other lay, and bound as was the other, both being gagged against sound which they might wish to make.’ - Jalav, Amazon Warrior, from The Crystals Of Mida by Sharon Green, p 339.

Original mythic femdom art is by the marvellous Bambois. I thought the accompanying passage from Sharon Green’s 1982 fantasy Amazon novel The Crystals of Mida, provided a decent interpretation of Bambois’ evocative image.

Ares’ Influence

Amazonian warriors from Wonder Woman (left) and the picture Snyder shared of Amazon Warriors from Justice League (right) 

[...] This isn’t a new formula for comic books, films or TV shows. All these fields are dominated by white men and their creations reflect their own ideals. Women in films are four times more likely to be shown in sexy outfits and three times more likely to show some nudity. Zack Snyder’s ideal female warrior wearing about the same as a Victoria’s Secret model on the runway is not a new concept, it’s just disappointing and insulting in 2017. [...]

Amazons wearing soft leather outfits (good for showing off boob curves) while warriors from Atlantis and Man’s World are in full armor.

[...] To be absolutely clear, my issue is not with the lack of modesty. The Amazons in Wonder Woman wore sports-bra-like outfits when they were not fighting and I think that is very realistic for a society that lives in a Mediterranean climate. My problem is a millennia-old military culture wearing bikinis into battle because they are women. My problem is a wise civilization that was created by the gods to protect the world thinking that soft leather is armor. I have a problem with a really great design being thrown out in favor of something that would excite the cis male gaze. [...]

I was already sort of angry about this movie since the moment I saw the teaser trailer and realized that in only 5 seconds of footage they had managed to include a view of Gal Gadot’s ass, something that didn’t happen at any moment in the entirety of Wonder Woman, despite her fighting style and outfits being exactly the same ones, but this takes it to a whole new level...
