Technically the Amazons woudl be bisexual, since we know they have occasional relationships with the opposite sex as well their enduring love for each other.
Which is fine - works for these two...
Unless we are suggesting that two people could spend years alone on a desert island and not end up having sex?

Well, it was a counter to those wanting to make her a lesbian. I guess she falls out of favor it she left for that reason. Originally Posted by Outside_85

More likely, they would be the ones doing most of the learning.
Starting with lesson#1:
"Not all men are evil moustache-twirling rapists."

I'm sure you don't mean to be offensive, but your choice of wording here is poor. By that, I mean it's open to what I believe is likely misinterpretation. So what if a rape victim hasn't had sex with a man since then. For starters, she may be lesbian, right? Originally Posted by Eliseu Gouveia
So, borrowing your lesson #1, but rephrasing:
"Not all women who don't want to have sex with men are e-v-i-l man-hating Amazons."Last edited by americanwonder; 12-23-2012 at 10:10 PM.

Eventually, DC will have the courage to make Wonder Woman a lesbian, or at least openly bisexual.
It was only maybe half a year before I was born in 1969 that DC actually chickened out on having their first African-American hero (they had the story rewritten and had him re-colored as Caucasian) , because they were afraid of a non-white hero "offending" someone.
So I think we'll get there someday.

Before than were raped that was their mission while in Anicent Greece before lving on Paradise Island that what I meant. I think they are pansexual because they are based on greek myth and the gods basically didn't care about what gender much less the fact they are human. Originally Posted by Eliseu Gouveia

Well, for starters, I am not quit esure a rape victim who spent 3,000 years harbouring hatred toward men as a whole for the sins of a few is the most qualified person to teach about love and sexuality. Originally Posted by americanwonder

Well, to be honest, before they were raped there weren´t many signs that they were welcoming men into their city to teach them about love and sexuality either. Originally Posted by UsagiTsukino

They wouldn't teach at their city but would go and talk in towns. Many wouldn't listen but they did gain women. That why they were sent way after their rape for killing men and showing to love. I saw your point but also Perez amazon's had amazons that lived a single life and some that were in loving relationships. They did stop men hating and vote for men to live on the island that didn't last long as Paradise Island was attacked. Originally Posted by Eliseu Gouveia

So since they already do, then it' OK to just change the orientation of an established character because that' is suppose to be fair? Originally Posted by Aquacatlungfish

Yet these amazons were still harbouring ill feelings toward ALL men because of the evildoings of a few 3,000 years later?
Yeah, I don´t think they´d have much to teach anyone in "Man's wrld" about love and sexuality and a LOT to learn.
