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...

Innocent or Not

 


My deep reflection into my past hurts deeply, and I'd like to say this: rape is more painful for a non-virgin than a virgin. 

A virgin, as in this case, only feels deprived of her choice of who she wants to be with first, and it can be depressing because it makes one feel pointless for abstaining all this time. What makes it better is that you were able to open up to someone and say, "He took my virginity after saying no!" Some reactions can be annoying afterwards, but not in all cases.

For a non-Virgin, it's hurtful, depressing, and devastating. When you open up, what you hear is, "At least you enjoyed it; it wasn't your first time!" My no is my no, and my yes is my yes. Either I'm a virgin or not. It is really depressing when you open up to someone, the person works up to the culprit, and the next thing he says is, "Why are you even fighting? At least she's not a virgin." That audacity is more painful than the rape. So a lot of people suffer in silence, and because they know you can't talk, they come back feasting on your pain.

Let's make the world a safe place for everyone. Getting the consent of the lady is more important than whatever it is you want. Take, for instance, if she's your sister or daughter. The pain you put people through is traumatising. 

Also, to ladies that take delight in lying that a man raped them when he didn't, it has deprived many of us of the actual voice we need. Reporting a rape case is now very hard, and your selfish reasons have deprived your fellow genders of the voice they need.

If a man offends you, treat that offence seriously and stop using rape as a means of getting back to a man. Many of the reported rape cases are lies, and this has made the actual victim look like a liar. My fellow gender Let's make the world a safe place.

I was raped.

    Well said but my point is that both require pains but that of non virgin is serious ooh but may God help us all. If you are raped just forget about that life still goes on.

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...

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...

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 ...
