ParticipantThe term "Amazon" comes from the Greek tribe of "Tall & Muscular" women warriors. Buffy was neither, hence she was not an Amazon.
PS – Another interesting fact, one of the most prominent tribes in greek Mythology was the Lesbians, inhabitants of the Isle Of Lesbos. i always got a kick outta that.
Actually, in Ancient Greek times the original Amazon women were part of raiding Asiatic Nomad tribes, feared for their use of the bow and famous (though falsely so) for cutting off one breast in order to shoot their arrows better. They were also famous for their small but powerful stature and being fierce warriors.
The notion of the "tall & muscular" amazon came from early Victorian fiction as another way to describe the other and dangerous side of women -always in a negative connitation (except in Joseph Conrad's final chapter of Heart Of Darkness) to keep women (and men) under a form of control and conformity.
This is so often mistaken (like all things) in the modern context.And, oddly enough, the (translated term) in Greek for what we would call 'Lesbians' was Saphist (followers of Sophie). The women of Lesbos were dedicated scholars and philosophier. The idea that they were all lovers and Saphists came from mainlaind Geece (mainly Athenian) propaganda to discredit their thinking and ideals. It had nothing to do with sexual or sexual preferences.
Yet another modern myth.Peace

ParticipantI's have not deleted any of your posts and any other moderator would have to notify and explain why -as per the rules set forth by us.
Maybe it is as our dear David said, a mere mistake and nothing malicious. So, repost again and see if the same happens.
No other advice can be give.

ParticipantThe_Pimp_NeonBlack is probably right though. Anger is not healthy, and you should relieve that stress. Exercise is great for removing tension.
I's believe that it was dear James who made that statement, not I.
Credit should go where credit is due.

ParticipantI just want to ask you all, as men, if hearing what a female character is thinking is interesting or if it’s all “yap yap yap.”
Human thought is always interesting -no matter the gender, but only if it is relivant to the story and character. So, it must have context within the tale and not within merely to add content and wordcount.
But, that being said, do not be afraid to add anything to your tale if it does fit, so to speak. Not all will like it but that does not matter. If you are pleased with your content, then other's will be pleased likewise.
There is nothing left to be said by this Flesh in such a matter.

ParticipantThe great trick to writing any tale -FMG or other- is to make it believable. No matter how far fetched the fantasy, you must make the readers believe in you tale and the possiblities that lay within.
The best way to do this is to make fully rendered characters that the reader can empathise with.
You must dwell within your characters' skins and came to fully understand their motivations and personaltiy befor you even put pen to paper. For if you do not believe in your characters and understand them, then your readers will not either.
The other trick is to understand the how's and why's of the growth and transformations involved within your tale. There is nothing worse in a tale than growth for growth's sake. And this all feeds through to the factor of plausablity and how much disbelief your reader is willing to suspend during the course of their reading.
There is nothing else to be said in this matter that has not laready been mentioned before.
Best of luck, dear Child.

ParticipantIt is surely strange what the human body can do with the right (or wrong) emotional stimulas.
I's have seen a woman who barely stood 5 feet and no strength training what-so-ever tall flip a car (a heavy 1970's American vechicle) onto it's side because it almost ran over her children. She just ran up, put both hands underneath it's doors and lifted. Collasping it onto it's side.
Unfortunately, when she had calmed down and the drive had been subdued (he was drunk), she began to feel the effects of her effort and she had to be treated by a form of Chinese therputic massage (since the muscles needed to be forced to relax before they hemerage or the like). But, in the end, she laughed off the pain and said that she was going to join the gym. When she was last encountered -some years ago- she was an amateur powerlifter going for her first contest.
She told I the trick was to 'remember the feel that gave you the power and channel it properly'.
The same theory should work for you in your training, dear Alisa.
Best of luck -in all things.

ParticipantIf you are looking for realistic forms of muscle in computer and video games, Tekken 5 has a little.
The character Nina Williams as toned arms and legs, same as her sister, Anna. Asuka, in her secret costume, as a noticible bicep in her finishing pose. As well as Xiaoyu.
Good luck in your search for more.
