There are a lot of retellings and wrong tellings of myths these days, but I'll never forgot that period where a decent chunk of Tumblr was convinced that not only was the tale of Medusa secretly feminist before the Romans subverted the pro-woman fables of the famously feminist society, Ancient Greece, but Medusa's face was a symbol for women's shelters in Ancient Greece, despite the fact that there's no evidence for women's shelters existing in Ancient Greece before people started insisting they had Medusa on them
The argument I had with that person!!!!! But yes the "women's shelters" was truly a low point
