“ This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ” ― Rumi
One good turn deserves another and those unpredictable Amazons are back, swords sharpened, chainmail polished, and makeup in place, ready to fight the good fight. And if you think they're just male wish-fulfillment fantasies, you'd better say it under you
