A group of women in the Ukraine have formed a modern amazon tribe called Asgarda. Their goal is to have complete autonomy from men, they train in different martial arts and sciences, and live in the Carpathian Mountains. (source)

In the Ukraine there is a women's only martial arts group called 'Asgard' which centres on teaching women and young girls marital arts with lethal weapons and believe they are the descendants of The Amazons (the fierce all woman warrior tribe). This may seem all women empowering and sounds airily like radical ' feminism' (men hating rather than equality in this case). But if you research a little deeper you'll find an interview with the movements founder. She talks about how a woman's role is to become mothers and make a man feel like a man, which can be achieved by letting him conquer you and be more stronger "They [women] want to impress their partners and sometimes even compete with them, but that will make the man feel weak. Obviously there are men who don’t want to conquer, but they will want a grey mouse, not a warrior woman.". And instead of teaching the young girls to have aspirations and self loving, they teach them the difference between liking a boy and loving a boy basically. Instead of trying to bring forth an equality based society they prefer to live within a patriarchal society and let men "conquer" the women. When asked about gender inequality with jobs, and male to female domestic violence she made excuses for it. Here is the link for the interview: http://www.vice.com/video/the-warrior-women-of-asgarda
