	Violet Books: Amazon Heroic Fantasy
		The amazon novel would be taken more seriously than it deserves, as absurdly as the cyberpunks have been taken seriously, if the amazon works were also predominantly masculinist in their origin.
		The amazon torn toward symbols of sanctionable submission, such as masochism, is typical of heroic fantasy; but the amazon who pushes her power to further & further extremes is stepping twice, not once, outside 20th Century standards of femininity.
		Queens of a wide array of amazon nations appear in Portugese & Spanish epic romances, the most famous of whom was Califia, Queen of an amazon island, & who warred with her amazon hordes in the middle-east.

	Religion vs. Feminism - The Primary Source Online
		Feminism and religion were two unlikely counterparts in the discussion of a panel sponsored by the Tufts Feminist Alliance on February 3.
		The core of feminism is the quest for equality, but somewhere in the evolution of the movement, the central objective turned from achieving equality to achieving supremacy over the opposite sex.
		The panel argued that religion and feminism could coincide because they both espouse respect and equality, yet there is still sexism in the institutions and practices of Islam, Judaism and Christianity as a result of their centuries-old traditions.

		Amazon feminism rejects the idea that certain characteristics or interests are inherently masculine and upholds and explores a vision of heroic womanhood.
		Her comment is a good introduction to that fractious variety of feminism that Rothenberg and Jaggar find hard to label any further than to designate its source as women of color.

	The Dissident Feminist: Schools of Feminist Thought
		I wanted to give some idea of what feminism means to different women who claim the label as their own on this site--after all, the very idea at the core of this project is to illustrate that not all feminism falls under the ball-breaking reverse-double-standard militant stereotype that is so prevalent today.
		But this appears not to be the case: "equity feminism" is a term that has been at the center of controversy within feminist circles since at least 1994, and certainly has more real-world relevance to feminist policy than does the ridiculous and inflammatory non-movement called "feminazism".
		They are closely affiliated with liberal feminism, but tend to question the need for further effort, and do not think that Radical feminism is any longer viable and in fact rather embarrassing (this is the group most likely to espouse feminist ideas and thoughts while denying being "feminist").

	the_venom_posse: "The woman I needed to call my mother was silenced before I was born." -- Adrienne Rich
		This form of feminism was popular in the so-called second wave (a "wave" being a large major change in general feminist ideas), though it is not as prominent today.
		Opponents of feminism claim that women's quest for external power, as opposed to the internal power to affect other people's ethics and values, has left a vacuum in the area of moral training, where women formerly held sway.
		There have been changes also in attitudes towards sexual morality and behaviour with the onset of second wave feminism and "the Pill": women are then more in control of their body, and are able to experience sex with more freedom than was previously socially accepted for them.

	Feminism: The View of a Fem Lit Crit Class: Definitions.
		Feminism: an acknowledgement and examination of the societal differences between men and women, not an effort to bring women, and an effort to bring women to an equal status with men.
		Amazon feminism is dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as it is expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of female athletes, and in sexual values and practices.
		This theory of feminism supports the notion that there are biological differences between men and women, for example, "women are kinder and more gentle then men", leading to the mentality that if women ruled the world there would be no wars.

		Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women, especially in terms of their social, political, and economic situation.
		Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense may be usefully dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education.
		However, the basic values of feminism (women's rights and gender equality for women) have become so integrated into Western culture as to be accepted overwhelmingly as valid, and non-conformity to those values characterized as unacceptable, by the same men and women who reject the label "feminist".

	The Horror Of Feminism
		On the whole, feminists and lesbians tend to treat the figure of the Amazon as a positive trope for lesbianism and/or feminism.
		Representations of the Amazon or female warrior in patriarchal culture, however, may acknowledge a perceived 'threat' of female aggression and seek to neutralise it.
		The popular male conception of feminism in the 1980s is also that of anti-individualism, and the subordination of men to its 'corporate' interest - in short, an imagined monstrous regiment of 'the female'.

	Whither feminism? \| media girl (mediagirl.org)
		Feminism is a social theory and political movement primarily informed and motivated by the experience of women.
		While generally providing a critique of social relations, many proponents of feminism also focus on analyzing gender inequality and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues.
		I blame the media in the UK at least; feminism has become inextricably linked with lesbianism, which is another dirty word to a lot of women.

	Hester Prynne
		The theory of Amazon feminism is one of the most prominent forms of feminism in art and literature, the theory includes the ideas of a “the female hero” and is “expressed… in sexual values and practices” (Moore 2).
		Hester’s refusal to submit to the wishes of the church and the community and release the name of her fellow sinner is reminiscent of the dismissal of the inherent beliefs that a woman has to be passive, and submissive that is so closely associated with Amazon feminism.
		In the eyes of those who surround Hester, she has “perpetrated a crime against church and state” which he seems to dismiss due to her belief that her sin is actually that of the “original sexual incompatibility between husband and wife” (Fryer 111, Bensick 140).

		Is the goal of feminism an aggressive pursuit of money, power, etc equal to what men have, or is about the right to choose which way a woman decides to live her life?
		Feminism serves to promote the idea (which is still considered "radical" by some men in this country) that a WOMAN CAN and SHOULD be able to do WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

	The Thought Mill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In reality, feminism is a thoroughly colorful movement that includes a dazzling array of sub-movements: gender feminism, socialist feminism, liberal feminism, libertarian feminism, ecofeminism, Amazon feminism, conservative feminism, third-wave feminism and second-wave feminism.
		By the same token, it is intellectually dishonest to maintain that feminism, say, hates men, when, for example, libertarian feminism adopts a positive attitude towards men and expressly claims to fight for their rights alongside those of women.
		Feminism is a far cry from a homogeneous group, and it is imperative to draw distinctions when finding fault with it.
