This post was made purely for the sake of my (broken) sense of humor, but hear me out:

One of the reasons why people prefer the older versions of the myth of Medusa rather than Ovid's one is because a) She was born a gorgon and b) It is very likely that her relationship with Poseidon was more consentual according to Hesiod, or at least less abusive.

There's also this depiction of Poseidon appearing in Medusa's cave right after she was beheaded, while one of her sisters stands in front of him so that he won't see her corpse:

But allow me to add one more idea, and ruin the rest of your day in the process:

Medusa was pregnant with Pegasus when Perseus killed her. While Pegasus' parentage isn't directly specified, most people agree that he was fathered by Poseidon. And we know that when a deity turns into an animal in order to have sex with a mortal their offspring usually turns out to inherit the form of that animal, either partially or completely.

This discussion is going where you think it is going.

Finding out how are some of Jupiter's moons named could rub you in a wrong way.

Man, I just killed a cat! 😭

I've also seen people commenting about how that statue of Medusa is feminist because she has "deep hips" or "asymmetrical breasts", so she's doesn’t fit into the beauty standards... as if this isn't real human anatomy that every woman is supposed to have.

I dislike the whole "imperfections that are beautiful" trend, because most of the time those videos end up showing already conventionally attractive women, so their "flaws" only add to their attractiveness.

Get more courage and depict actually monstruous/unattractive women if you genuinely want to spread this type of message.

Found this article on Medusa and it really rubs me the wrong way

Boshemia Magazine

"The face of our own rage"- a feminist interpretation of Greek mythological figure Medusa and female rage. — Boshemia Magazine

The image of a monstrous woman is used to belittle, shame and discourage powerful women, teaching them to adhere to the status quo and remem

Especially this bit:

First off “she was a victim before a monster” is just not true, her earliest versions (Hesiod’s Theogony) all have her born as a monster and the first time she was ever depicted as a victim is by Ovid, centuries later.

Secondly, “soft and womanly” I thought ppl liked Medusa bc she was ugly and didn’t fall into beauty standards set by men yet every single “feminist” depiction of her looks like a pretty human woman with snake hair, I just don’t get it… and here they are talking about how making Medusa more human and feminine is feminist actually, bc ig ugly and masculine (Medusa sometimes had a beard) women just don’t cut it.
