#like you can't do a feminist retelling of Medea and present her as “the good misunderstood one”

[greypetrel]

Can the word please stop with feminist retellings of myths, please?

They're even more annoying than Mafia AUs where the Mafia is portrayed as something good, Robin Hood-like. (no.)

I'm just so tired, even the ones that are written good are... Listen, I liked TSoA. I really did. But there's nothing feminist in it, sorry not sorry, or just explain how do you think Tethys is more feminist in MM book than in the Iliad, where she's the best mom around, moving mountains and convincing Zeus to go out of his way to help her baby. Because honestly I don't see the feminism in that Tethys.

#rant #personal crap #MM at least read her sources there are others which... Didn't. #like you can't do a feminist retelling of Medea and present her as “the good misunderstood one” #EURIPIDES would agree that she got badly wronges... She also dismembered her own brother and her own sons and that's not being misunderstoo
