Medusa: A Victim of Female Violation and Misunderstanding

Medusa, a figure from Greek mythology, is often reduced to the monstrous woman with serpents for hair, capable of turning onlookers to stone. But behind this fearsome image lies a deeply human story of violation, betrayal, and the enduring punishment of a victim. Her narrative echoes the pain and injustice faced by many women throughout history. Medusa Before the Curse Before she was a "monster," Medusa was a beautiful mortal woman. She served as a priestess in the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. As a devoted servant, Medusa had taken a vow of chastity, committing herself to a life of purity and service. But her beauty caught the attention of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Violation in the Sanctuary One of the most heartbreaking aspects of Medusa’s story is her violation at the hands of Poseidon. According to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Poseidon attacked Medusa in Athena’s temple, desecrating the sacred space. This act of violence was not just a physical violati...

How do I heal?



 

The hate I had for myself was great. I hate to see myself in the mirror. I disgust myself because how do I explain this incidence to myself? I had myself to battle with. The hate now is not on the person who raped me. He was even the least of my problems.

I was just too gullible to be raped twice in two years. I hate to see myself in the mirror. I felt ugly and stupid. All I was seeing in the mirror was a stupid girl and nothing more. I was like that for months, and I didn't want to associate with anyone. I kept my distance from everyone as much as I could. 

Four months after the incident, I was on my way to church when I saw him. He packed and said he wanted to give me a ride. I told him no, that I was fine, and he said I know you don't want me to have you once more, and I want to do that as much as I can. I burst into tears immediately because it reminded me of the first idiot.

I hated myself more, and I could only see myself as a subject of pleasure. The view of myself played in my head for months. I started feeling sick and discovered I was pregnant. I did know who to talk to, so I was taking on a lot of things. Both from what I heard from people and from what I was on Facebook. I don't want to have a child under any circumstances. Not even in this world of hate.

Keeping my distance from everyone didn't make them notice what was going on. I don't talk or play with my siblings, at least. One month after taking different things, I was lucky to have a miscarriage. It was so painful, and my sisters thought it was cramps. I had painkillers, and I felt much better. I bled for 2 weeks, and I was going lean. I had to result from some blood tonic we had at home; they didn't understand why. I only told them I wanted to add weight.

The blood stopped after 2 weeks, and my real journey began.

What should I do?

 I gave Olaitan attitude that I didn't want him near me after the first time we had it . I have everything I want. I felt like I didn't need him until the urge suddenly started. I went back to masterbation but was not satisfied. I'm thinking about what to do because I'm not satisfied. Then I turned back to him. I acted like I had been through a lot when I gave him my attitude and he said he was fine. I didn't talk about my desires until a few days later so he wouldn't understand why I was acting normal. We talked about it and he said he knew I would want more. We set a time for the next one and it's just as painful as the first. I was still bleeding, my hymen had not completely broken and it was very painful. At that time I didn't know what it felt like to get wet before making love, it caused intense pain and my virginal hurts.  I'm not satisfied because I don't know what sexual satisfaction is for women.  I only know it's done when a m...

Men and I

Since my sense of worth has been punctured and my urges have been uncontrollable, I switched guys. I became a lady you shouldn't play with because looking innocent, playing with your emotions, satisfying my urge, and breaking up became my hobby. I am irresistible, sexy, and dangerous. That made me happy. I control myself and any man around me. It was revenge, so I thought, but I enjoyed every single thing I was doing, and I was so blessed with Taylor Swift. Her heartbreak songs always inspire me to do more. I became strong-hearted, went for who I wanted, and then dropped them when I'm done. I was never into a nightstand. I have a proper relationship and move on when I'm done. At least, it's decent.  2 things make me dump a guy: his ambition not being as strong as mine and unsatisfied urge. They became determinants of how long the relationship would last, but it still ended after all. I got tired of playing with people's emotions, so I took a break. I don't have ...

The Role of Men in Stopping Sexual Violence

   Sexual violence is a pervasive issue that affects millions of women worldwide, but it is not just a "women's issue"—it's a human issue that requires the involvement of everyone, especially men, in creating a safer society. While women are often at the forefront of raising awareness and pushing for change, men have a critical role to play in preventing sexual violence and promoting a culture of respect and accountability. 1. Challenging Harmful Masculine Norms Many societies reinforce harmful masculine ideals that glorify dominance, control, and aggression. These toxic behaviors can normalize violence, especially towards women, as a sign of power. Men need to be willing to challenge these norms, both in themselves and among their peers, by promoting healthy, respectful models of masculinity that value empathy, equality, and mutual respect. 2. Being Allies, Not Bystanders Men are often in positions where they witness or hear inappropriate comments, jokes, or behavior...
