So as per my studying of Ancient Myth, my final paper being on the evolution of Amazonian Myth (it was that or Athenian Hero/ine Worship, or comparing/contrast creation myth of Near East/Biblical/Greece).
But in doing so, I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE ASSHOLES THAT HAVE CAUSED THE SUPPRESSION OF WOMEN FOR THE LAST FUCK KNOWS HOW LONG. D< It's been bugging me, cause I couldn't work out who or when or how these motherfuckers (I have a great, great hate for Ancient Greece, does it show?) went from just Goddess-worshipping in fair equality to ... well what they turned into, women never leaving their house, never doing anything.
So basically, its Heroic Age Greece. Things are okay-ish for women, they are still in their great mother worshiping days and women have a great amount of freedom and liberty compared to what is to come. Then these particular Grecian tribe rears its ugly head and decides that women should be, that is, subservient. There is a theory as to where the Amazonian Myth came from: left over from those days the women that frankly refused such bullshit and took up the sword and left the bastards.
This tribe is known as "The Dorians".
Get the time machine and by god, I will have the baseball bat. Hooooboy.
