Amazonian Warrioresses
Greek mythology speaks of a tribe of all-female warriors known as The Amazons. The word Amazon is said to mean “without breast”. This is due to the legend that Amazons had their right breast removed in order to better facilitate the drawing of a bow, as the bow and arrow was their primary weapon.

The amazons either use a device similar to an iron to cauterize the right breast on young girls or cut it off when they’ve grew older.
Beside from the fact that it would be easier to draw a bow (IMO left breast would be the 1 that is in the way, if they are right handed), they do it so that all of the strength / nutritions from it would be diverted to their right arm.
I don’t want to go and exploit the myth too deep because that would cause a big debate.
Anyway, amazons are still hot with or without their right breast.
