Uhh, that's not how girls operate. At all. They have problems with hierarchy.

Well the amazon women kinda proved that wrong a couple thousand years ago.

That was a joke, right?

Yes and no. In myth the amazons did have a hierarchy with a queen, but no king.

The Amazons were actually the Scythian women, who were often home alone while their husbands were on a raid, particularly the long ones that the Scythians are famous for. They were able to defend themselves as quality horse archers in the absence of their male counterparts.

The History Channel should do more historical battles, but with EB instead of RTW.

Well during the times of Achilles there are accounts of men fighting armies of women dressed in armor. This also though could just be myth.

Big myth, the Scythian women would only fight if the men were absent.

That's assuming that particular ethnic group was camping out in that part of the Pontic Steppe at the time.

Referring to the time of Achilles and chariots.
