[Opinions] Re: Adore, a powerful name and story. (m)
Agree with all of this. I took a women's history class in college and the professor actually brought up Medusa as a feminist figure, for the reasons you explained. I was already of that mind because my mom studied Greek history extensively and talked about it a lot and we had bookshelves full of material on it growing up (though her specialty was ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia). It's why she named my sister Cassandra! I honestly thought this was common knowledge but the comments here are making me doubt that now :( Apparently most people just know her as a monster.
