Well the problem with these large generalizations is you can always find exceptions; but I think 'what the Amazons thought would come under the heading of cultural and educational overlay'. I see no reason to assume that in the absence of the network of expectations and training given to young members of the community to identify the warrior way with femininity, it would surface as an inherent choice.

I agree that people contain all possibilities. I think I made that perfectly clear!

Of course, I often make things perfectly clear to me and then ollox them up roundly asd far as anyone else is concerned! :>)
