Asgarda - Women Warrior Tribe In The Amazon

This tribe is believed to be new age warrior women. When we look at the picture we might think this all women's group is promoting female empowerment, that women can stand alone. But that is not what they are. The leader and founder of the group. Katerina began building this group of women in 2002. Women who knew martial arts. The focus of the group is self defence and their motto is to make women who can build better men. They do not call themselves feminist, but they believe that a womens role is to support her man. Katerina says that she teaches the girls to ask one question when picking a man. Do they just want to have sex with him? or do they want his genes to be in their children? Katerina Larnovska said "You can be a warrior businessman, you can be a warrior politician, a warrior trolleybus operator". She just wants women to be strong in whatever they do. The Asgarda are a nationalist, maternalist movement. They don't intend to crush the patriarchy they live in, but to work with it. Not the kind of 'warrior women' i was expecting to find when I first heard of them... but i guess their beliefs would suit others.
