There have been people who think the Amazons might have been lesbians, but since they didn't die out all that quickly men must have been involved somehow,
If you're referring to those folks in the Amazon rainforest still maintaining their way of life, their society is actually just matriarchal - the men actually live amongst them in the same village.
random men wandering around just raping every female they encounter...and these two now have to live in the forest so....yeah, its really not all that happy when you think about it....
More like random men wandering around who get raped by a horde of armed and dangerous young women.
Men should be very afraid and avoid the forest like the plague. The wildlife is probably far more dangerous.
Doesn't matter anyway, since Zoe seems to be a rather dangerous warrior girl.
presumably because the Amazon River in South America having the same name as the Greek river the warrior women were named after.
It's the other way around I think. The Amazon rainforest/basin/river/people etc got their name because the Spaniards had a confrontation with warrior women who fought together with the men there and named them after the Greek legend presumably.
Reading this oneshot made me think of http://dynasty-scans.com/series/earth_girls
...I so want to see a crossover where they both end up in Smoke Mountain Village now...
Maybe they'd send a raiding party to kill that nasty old crone and liberate all the poor yuri girls trapped there (if any)...
