The Gelae ( Ancient Greek : Γῆλαι , Γέλαι , or Γέλοι , Gélai or Géloi ), or Gelians , were a Scythian tribe mentioned by Strabo and other ancient writers as living on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea . The name of the province Gilan might possibly be derived from the Gelae. Another hypothesis held by several historians, suggests that the Gelae are equivalent to the Galgai , the ancient neighbours of the Legae ( Leks ).

38-1018: A community distinct and separate from other social groups. On the other hand, the MGTOW movement is sometimes considered a male-gender separatism, as at the center of this ideology is the notion of male separatism where men should not be a part of a feminist-biased society. Some fringe elements even propose a utopical no-women state. Some examples include: Some separatist groups seek to separate from others along racial lines. They oppose interracial marriage and integration with other races and seek separate schools, businesses, churches and other institutions, and often separate societies, territories, countries, and governments: Religious separatist groups and sects want to withdraw from some larger religious groups and/or believe they should interact primarily with coreligionists: How far separatist demands will go toward full independence, and whether groups pursue constitutional and nonviolent action or armed violence, depend on
57-496: A law. The men love hunting and fighting. Modern scholars have developed various hypotheses about the original location, ethnicity, and the language of the Gelae. Arnold Chikobava , Ivane Javakhishvili , William E.D. Allen , Pyotr Butkov , Adolf Bergé , and others, attribute the Gelae to the modern Galgaï ( Ingush ).

76-454: A similar name.

114-946: Is not the same as government-enforced segregation. There is some academic debate about this definition, and in particular how it relates to secessionism , as has been discussed online. Separatist groups practice a form of identity politics , or political activity and theorizing founded in the shared experiences of the group's members. Such groups believe attempts at integration with dominant groups compromise their identity and ability to pursue greater self-determination . However, economic and political factors usually are critical in creating strong separatist movements as opposed to less ambitious identity movements. Groups may have one or more motivations for separation, including: Ethnic separatism can be based on cultural, linguistic as well as religious or racial differences. Ethnic separatist movements were relevant since they represented historical delineations between states , or in recent times, were

209-728: The Amazons did not border on the Albanians but were divided by them from the Gelae and Legae. Therefore, they must have been peoples neighbouring the Albanians, but distinct from them. Strabo's second account of the Gelae, mentions them among the tribes of the southern Caspian which included the Cadusii , Amardi , Witii , and Anariacae , in a manner which does not agree with what he initially says of their position. We must perhaps suppose that this people, in part at least, have changed either changed their place of residence or were perhaps another tribe with
