Hatchet?

What's with that little hatchet thingy?
That little "hatchet thingy" is a labyris, a double-bladed axe supposedly carried into battle by ancient female warriors. It has close associations with the Greek goddesses Artemis and Demeter and with the Amazons, a tribe of women renowned for their fearlessness in combat. Today, lesbians wear labyrises (labyrii?) on chains or earrings to symbolize power, strength, and female unity. Oh, and to tip off other lesbians about our sexual orientation.

Ok thanks. I have never seen that despite the climate around here. Lots of pink triangles and that = sign thing, but no hatchets. I guess I haven't been down to Little Five Points in a long time.
