The Symbolism of Medusa- A Deeper Look at Purity Culture and Patriarchal Norms
Despite being one of Greek mythology's most infamous monsters, Medusa's story has always been unique. As one of the fiercest predators in the genre, she might have survived the storms of time. However, the story can be interpreted through a feminist lens. Medusa was more of the prey than the predator. As a follower of the goddess Athena, Medusa made a vow to live chastely, but when Poseidon sexually assaulted her in the temple, that plan fell apart. To put it briefly, the goddess of war did not find the Greek god Poseidon's seduction of a lovely young woman in Athena's temple endearing. Another version tells a darker story in which the god of the sea pursues the innocent woman violently against her will. She rushes across Athens, desperate to get away from her conqueror.

Prey
Since the beginning of time, women have been seen as the lesser sex in most cultures. We are not seen as the powerhouses that we truly are, we are seen as weak and helpless. Men prey on us as if we are some prize to be won. If you are a woman you know this is true. From the time you are a young girl, your taught to smile, be pretty, stand tall, act lady like...your putting on a show. You are taught to seek a man, a good man that will take care of you. It is never questioned why it is you need to be taken care of in the first place? As a young girl, your mentally screwed from the very start. Most of us are because we have been taught that we need a man, seek one out that will take good care of you, you need to dress pretty for him but also modestly because you don't want to distract him. You are not taught that you are enough just as you are and can in fact take care of yourself or that you don't need a man but it is okay to want one or for that matter to want to be romantic with another girl. They also don't teach the little boys to control their own actions. No, that is left for us girls. We have to be tough, tuck those emotions under the rug, save face and be presentable in all occasions. As a young woman it unfortunately doesn't get much better. As you blossom and come into your womanhood suddenly your seen as prey. Boys will seek you out if they think your pretty. They try to take what is not theirs to take. You say no but they hear yes. Tell me girl, haven't you ever pulled your jacket tighter, looked at the floor and sped up your pace? Haven't you ever told a man to stop calling you baby just for him to call you crazy because he was simply being nice? Have you ever felt beaten and bruised by the hands of a man but couldn't see any physical signs? If you speak up, they say you've ruined his life. He's such a nice, upstanding citizen. How dare you? Don't you know your supposed to keep your mouth shut? Your called a bitch, tramp, slut, whore...spit on, cussed at...stay quiet girl. He's so nice. We're taught this. To stay quiet, stand tall, stay strong, we are the quiet warriors. We are supposed to remember our place in this world, in this patriarchy.

The Evolution of Women’s Stories in Indian Cinema Today
