#Metoo, Medusa and the Law: What Feminist Subversion of Ancient Myth tells us about the Post-Covid Anglosphere

Since the statues of slave owners, racist politicians and confederate generals were pulled down by BLM protesters, the Anglo-American world been filling those vacant public spaces with 'woke' artworks which supposedly 'challenge' the cultural establishment. Predictably, feminists have been quick to install such a 'subversive' artwork opposite New York's criminal court:

A new Medusa sculpture now stands victoriously across from NYC criminal court

The statue flips the classic myth on its head, presenting Medusa as victorious over those who would blame and slay her. 

A statue of Medusa, the mythological monster with snakes for hair, was unveiled in front of the New York County Criminal Court on Tuesday, and while it may seem random, it's meant to be a picture of empowerment for victims. 

Medusa With The Head of Perseus by Argentine-Italian artist Luciano Garbati stands seven feet tall in Collect Pond Park on Centre St. The figure, a nude woman, holds a sword in one hand and the head of Perseus in the other. It was cast in bronze by Vanessa Solomon of Carbon Sculpt Studios in Red Hook and Laran Bronze Foundry in Philadelphia. 

For those who are a little rusty on their Greek mythology, Medusa was a maiden in Athena's temple who was stalked and "violated" or raped by Poseidon, according to Ovid’s Metamorphosis. "She was once most beautiful, and the jealous aspiration of many suitors. Of all her beauties none was more admired than her hair," the story says. 

When Athena finds out about the rape, she banishes and curses Medusa (the victim) with a head of snakes and a gaze that turns men to stone. Athena and Poseidon aid the epic hero Perseus to hunt her down and behead her. Perseus displays her head as a trophy on his shield. 

Medusa With The Head (MWTH) is an artist-led project that explores the narrative habits of classical stories as well as their role in present culture and vision of the future. It says Medusa's story is part of a narrative of victim shaming stories of sexual violence through time and is relevant to this day. By flipping the story on its head, presenting Medusa as victorious over those who would blame and slay her, Garbati asks "How can a triumph be possible if you are defeating a victim?" By exploring the woman behind the myth, she hopes to give her a moment of empowerment.

Its placement across from criminal court is also meaningful—high profile abuse cases, including the Harvey Weinstein trial, have taken place here. By installing the statue here, it becomes "an icon of justice and the power of narrative." 

MWTH makes sculptural editions and other iconographic representations, like Garbati's statue, available with 10 percent of proceeds donated to the National Women’s Law Center. 

It'll be up through April 30, 2021.

What can we learn from this sorry, sordid excuse for a news story? Actually, quite a lot. Unfortunately, the lessons we learn only show the depths of cultural and moral decay in which our world is drowning. 

Inverted Myths, Inverted Values

Myths and legends exist to provide functional guidance to society, revealing eternal truths in a comprehensible, symbolic form that everyone can understand. The story of Beauty and the Beast is a good example of this. Although it can be interpreted as piece of a blue-pilled fiction denying the importance of looks, the tale gently guides young women towards rational mate-choices (as opposed to chad-chasing and fooling with dogs). In most variants of the tale, the unattractive Beast turns into a handsome prince once Beauty declares her love for him. At a deeper moralistic level, the story is trying to reconcile foids to an effective (if unattractive) husband within the patriarchal framework of a functional society.

In short, myth has a functional purpose; it is not there to be ‘inverted’, as this ugly statue attempts to do. ‘Inverting’ myths discredits the values they were devised to uphold, thereby celebrating dysfunction and deviance by default. Of course, this is what feminism is all about: a swift glance at contemporary Anglo-American culture provides ample evidence of this. Young children are encouraged to ‘transition’ into the opposite gender, every form of lifestyle degeneracy is actively celebrated while pea-brained women are exalted as deities in every sphere of life.

As we know, the top three female Internet searches are for rape, gang-bangs and bestiality. As feminism gathers even more power and influence, we will soon be seeing statues of women mating with dogs in every public square.  

Women’s General Crapness and Stupidity

Part of the controversy surrounding this statue is the fact that a man designed and created it. Feminists involved in the statue project argued that a male artist is unfit to represent the #metoo movement, purely because of his gender. However, they had to use a statue created by a male artist for one simple reason: women lack the talent and intelligence to create an original or impressive artwork. 

In fact, women cannot create anything unique or original: they can only exploit, subvert or destroy what men have already created. The human female is a bone-headed clown completely incapable of original thought or endeavour. Consider how women's ‘culture’ (fashion, hairdressing, interior décor, cooking) is invariably the creation of gay men, whose IQs are infinitely higher than their own.

The most flat-headed thing about feminism is how it continually called for sex-negative gender-separatism, even while pillaging male thought, talent and culture for everything they do.  The very fact that this 'revolutionary' feminist statue was created by a man only demonstrates women’s general crapness and lack of talent, intelligence or originality. Even in revolt, they can only emulate male vision and genius; like the worm-brained maggots they are.

Feminism IS ‘the Establishment’

The erection of Medusa’s 'subverted' statue opposite New York's Criminal Court teaches us another important lesson: far from being a revolutionary movement, Feminism IS the establishment in English-speaking countries. Courts give women lenient sentences (or no sentences) for serious crimes such as bestiality, murder and child abuse. Colleges shower them with scholarships and opportunities while men receive no equivalent opportunities (virtually no lower-class white men attend college in the Anglosphere west, for example). The courts divorce-rape thousands of men every day while sex-negative witch-hunts like #timesup and #metoo are given the full backing of the state. 

The lamestream media exalts women at every turn, brazenly denying their endemic racism and sexual elitism. Elite American law schools all have special feminist societies funded by the taxpayer, allowing misandrist feminists to dominate Anglo-American law and politics. All the while, women give nothing back to society in terms of active military service, draft registration or other other form of social obligation.

And now, on top of everything, they get man-hating feminist statues as well!

How is that not ‘the establishment’?

Feminist values are not ‘revolutionary’ and ‘marginalised’ but hold centre stage across the whole Anglosphere. By peddling the myth that women are downtrodden, feminists have cleverly masked the fact that low-value men are underclass untouchables in Anglo-American countries.

'Bombs in the Harbour'?

Baron Nathaniel Rothschild claimed that 'Great fortunes are made when bombs fall in the harbour, not when violins play in the ballroom'. Hardly debatable; and he surely knew what he was talking about. Moreover, it is notable that Anglo-American feminism is using the global pandemic to strengthen its grasp on power. Erecting subversive statues that exalt women and denigrate men might seem a marginalised and obscure strategy at such a time; but statues and other public artworks are crystallised ideology that 'normalise' socio-cultural values, however warped they might be. 

If and when Covid is finally subdued (it might never be 'conquered', from a medical perspective), the Anglosphere is going to wake up to a world in which misandrist, sex-negative feminism dominates every public space, every facade and precinct. Think about it: a statue of a woman holding a man's severed head outside a public court in a major city sends powerful messages about gender-relations in a crude, unobstructed manner that has never been seen before - not even in the degenerate, man-hating Anglosphere.

As always, one word of advice springs to mind: emigrate.

 

Perseus with Medusa's Head: The Way it should be

Big Thanks from Ondate: And Thanks from a Winner is Life's Sweetest Reward

Pack your bags, boy...

Some recent comments from a poster called Ondate legitimized my whole perspective. Not only is his commentary lucid and incisive, it is also inspirational. This is because he actually got off his butt and left the misandrist, repressive Anglosphere for a better and more liberated life abroad. Most gratifying of all, Ondate has drawn resolve from my blog (and the many erudite guest articles which grace its humble pages) to make a complete success of his new life. Read his words carefully: with a little more willpower and courage, you could be him. Speaking of inspiration, I have punctuated his thoughts with some pictures of nubile (non-Anglo) lovelies spotted at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. What more could you ask for?

David Futrelle is the typical white knight moron who thinks that he'll get a free-pass for selling out other men so that the #metoo and #timesup extremists will target them rather than him. And as the anon above said, correctly, like just about everything else about the Anglosphere these days, he and all he says is inflated hot air. Same thing with the debt-inflated false economy of the US, UK and Canada which is staying a-float only due to tens of trillions of dollars in debt instead of real production, or the impression offered by the White Knight fools that they're somehow "getting some" which they're absolutely not.

In fact having known a lot of these pathetic suck-up beta male White Knight sycophants, I can all but guarantee you they're the proverbial 40 year old virgins. Because as much as so many of these sad, pathetic Millennial and Gen-Z girls pretend to buy into the metoo witch-hunt fanaticism, deep down they want a man to actually be a man and dominate. After all the most popular literature in the past 2 decades has been the 50 Shades of Grey series, which, oh so curiously hit it's peak right amidst the #metoo extremism when it went off the rails from legitimate gripes against the Weinstein style creeps and into open false accusations against decent men (and even a few women) in authority. Even to the point that many of the 3rd-wave metoo feminists like Jessica Valenti and Emily Lindin of Teen Vogue were openly tweeting that women should make up false accusations out of thin air.  

A double dose of Brazilian magic...

Actually on that point, one ironic thing I've been seeing about these cucked White Knights is that a disproportional number of them are very educated Jewish American and Canadian men. I say ironic because you'd think these fools would realize that the "send the crocodile to eat the other guy first" appeasement of 3rd wave feminists gives them zero protection. In fact in at least some industries like entertainment, I think up to a third of the metoo attacks have been levelled at these very Jewish white knight "male feminists" who thought they'd be safe, some guilty but many apparently innocent. The idiots fail to realize that by simply bringing up the #metoo memes with their names associated, even if they express support and try to throw other less "woke" men under-the-bus, they themselves become targets for the witch hunt since the essence of the #metoo mccarthyism is the lack of any due process for the accused.

One big example, Eric Schneiderman, the NY Attorney General who's been at the forefront of many white knights within the "mainstream" sending public kisses to the metoo accusers, before getting accused himself. The same for Robert Iger of Disney, that asshole Jeff Zucker of CNN (who's been responsible for a lot of the media pushing of #metoo) and Jeff Weiner who tried to jump on board the #metoo bandwagon and encourage mentoring, before their own Twitter followers shot them down with perceptive comments:

As one of my old college profs and a business starter himself told me when we met up earlier this year, "Hire a woman, hire a lawsuit!" And this was a major Obama and Hillary Clinton supporter BTW who's come to realize that in the #metoo era, the social media lynch mobs with no due process have made all women in the workplace (at least young and attractive women) effectively toxic. He's stopped hiring women for his company and will never, ever mentor one for obvious reasons. Even the "open door" policy doesn't work, 15 years down road she could make up any bullshit accusation long after there's any contemporary information and ruin the guy so that he couldn't support his family. No man with any sense is going to take that risk anymore.

No comment required...

And a BTW a thanks to all those expats who were posting some weeks back I guess around the time all those expat conventions were going on. I learned a lot from them and I'm now set to become an expat from the US (and Canada, where I was born) myself. I had a nagging feeling couldn't put my finger on to, even before all the #metoo mccarthyism started stinking up the air, that the crazy 3rd-wave feminism of the Anglo countries had gotten to the point of becoming societally destructive, so that basic tasks like just getting work done, dating, let alone starting a relationship, getting married and having kids while avoiding financial catastrophe from divorce, were becoming impossible. I'd known too many fellow guys, and even young women who were rational and non-crazy, become casualties of divorce and bullshit (or generally trivial, "he didn't flirt with me the right way') sexual harassment crying-wolf accusations even before #metoo. 

A woman - not a fat, man-hating #metoo fuck-up

Reading your blog and what the expat guys were saying, made me realize it was something systemically sick with the Anglo culture and society. I started taking some intermediate French courses, I'd done beginner French in H.S. and looking at expat job forums. And then just recently I landed a nice webmaster job in Lille, a beautiful city in NE France right up next to the Belgium border near Mons, a Belgian city I'll be commuting to 3 months out of the year (where my company in France has a satellite).

Funny thing is, I could do the same basic job in the US but why would I stay here when being a man, esp. a white man is like having a damn target painted on my back every day at work or on the dating scene? In the US I'd be in fear every day that a female co-worker could accuse me any-time, for any reason of sexual harassment and wreck I career I've trained a decade for. Or that if I marry here, I'll lose my home, kid and savings in a divorce like so many men hit with alimony spousal and child-support demands from the family kangaroo courts.

IOW in the US or Canada, or anyplace in the crumbling Anglosphere, I'd be unable to safely do two of the most basic things for any responsible man-- build my career and raise a family. 

France and Belgium aren't paradises but like all your expat commenters were pointing out, their workplace and family laws are actually rational, maybe on due to that civil law heritage the legal experts were saying as oppose to the common law cucking of the Anglosphere.

I don't really care, all I know is that I can have a good promising career and start a family security in France-Belgium which I can't do in the Anglosphere anywhere. I earn around the same money, even more in Lille and Mons if you can handle a bit of Dutch or German, with same taxes-- don't listen to any moron saying the US is "lower-taxes", that's BS when you look at the hidden taxes like FICA/pay-roll and local. But I also get low expense health care without having to worry about going broke if I get an appendicitis and stuck in hospital, if I have to take college courses in Lille they're cheap and affordable, no student loans. And I get 6 weeks of vacation every year! I'm entrepreneurial so like a lot of people there and in Germany, I'll be using those opportunities to kick-start my own business. Which I won't have to worry about giving up in the event of divorce, unlike far too many American and Canadian men caught up in the parasitic system of divorce here.

And here's an England fan... excuse me while I vomit
