The Symbolism of Medusa- A Deeper Look at Purity Culture and Patriarchal Norms
Despite being one of Greek mythology's most infamous monsters, Medusa's story has always been unique. As one of the fiercest predators in the genre, she might have survived the storms of time. However, the story can be interpreted through a feminist lens. Medusa was more of the prey than the predator. As a follower of the goddess Athena, Medusa made a vow to live chastely, but when Poseidon sexually assaulted her in the temple, that plan fell apart. To put it briefly, the goddess of war did not find the Greek god Poseidon's seduction of a lovely young woman in Athena's temple endearing. Another version tells a darker story in which the god of the sea pursues the innocent woman violently against her will. She rushes across Athens, desperate to get away from her conqueror.

How Stridhan Empowers Women in Land Inheritance Issues
Women in Hindu society have historically possessed limited rights when it comes to ancestral land ownership. Unlike their male counterparts, they have not enjoyed equal access to land inherited from their ancestors since ancient times, largely due to the traditional concept of Stridhan within Indian culture. This custom has influenced the extent of women's rights in land inheritance. Legislation such as the Hindu Succession Amendment Act (2005) introduced a new principle of equality, ensuring that women receive the same inheritance rights as men, particularly regarding land.

The Tale of Pretty Privilege and How It Influences Women
How familiar are we with the concept of Pretty Privilege? It's common to think that individuals considered conventionally attractive—whether male or female—have an easier life than those who don't meet societal beauty standards. This perception is supported by evidence that beautiful people often receive better grades, have favorable job interview outcomes, enjoy increased opportunities, and grow up with greater self-esteem and confidence, as they frequently receive compliments about their looks. However, the implications of pretty privilege extend beyond mere superficial advantages. Often, it stems from internal biases and societal perceptions. This article explores the complexities of pretty privilege and its connections to longstanding issues of sexism and patriarchy, as well as its ongoing discussions in today's social media landscape.
