Ppl be worshipping idols of the feminine shadow as if it won't have spiritual and emotional consequences for them 🤔 https://twitter.com/rachelholliday/status/1314580135350337536

The 10s has been the decade of cultural technocrats presuming to harness deep wells of raw emotional energy without any respect or understanding for their source or substance
Women should be able to complain abt men but this impulse has been redirected into a self-cannibalising feedback loop which poisons interpersonal relationships and alienates them from their own masculine principle
Medusa isn't happy- few monsters are. But the Faustian bargain offered to women by the culture is to become 'Medusa-like' for an experience of some power. Who can blame them for taking it?
Medusa is not a hero. She is an image of the recursive nature of trauma- her gaze petrifies men with shame because it represents their failure by her. For Medusa to triumph represents a psychological point-of-no-return signifying a commitment to trauma as a principle
Perseus is able to behead her because he perceives her reflection in his own shield i.e. his own psychological armour. He is not beheading a real woman but his own personified fear of women, which releases a winged white horse, an image of mental freedom
Men must defeat their inner Medusa to free women the burden of being her, but twitter is overrun with petty male Medusas gossiping and back-stabbing one another under the misapprehension that this makes them sympathetic to the opposite sex
I respect this girl for having the presence of mind to observe her own algorithm-directed emotional inertia and recognise that it may not necessarily be in her interests- especially when the culture is invested in assuring her that her hatred is always authentic, always justified
The crime is not instilling hatred in her- we are owed our hatreds- but the automation and rationalisation of that hatred with the aim of instrumentalising her into a producer of mass sentiment at the cost of her relationships and psychological health
...in the process distoring and exaggerating her emotions beyond what can be adequately resolved on an interpersonal level by making her into a living Godform whose needs can only be satisfied when Society is corrected into accordance with her
She is like a Sun King from the Golden Bough who cannot move his left arm without disordering the universe. Her problems cannot be solved until 'sexism is solved within Society', and so she is encouraged to redirect interpersonal desire thru the proxy of 'politics'
'The personal as political' as the alienation of the personal from the political, because the order is reversed so that change cannot grow within Society until Society is first solved from without- she is held to ransom by the Culture War
Male feminists, pretending that this statue does not scare them, or that they are not hurt when women say they hate men, will never be able to help her- in their last act of misogynistic revenge, they pretend her gaze, her words mean nothing
