So many topics…. what should I talk about?

Mythology…and misogyny. Do you know the history behind Medusa? It is back in my mind due to a nasty thing circling the interwebs being planned for April. (NO I will not be elaborating on that.)

Medusa was a handmaiden in the temple of Athena. Poseidon took an interest in her and took advantage of her. Athena punished Medusa for this by turning her into a gorgon.

So, because she fell victim to the god of the seas, she was made so “Ugly” that no one could look upon her or turn to stone.
