Medusa Was Framed: Are We Afraid of Women or the Feminine?

Ever notice how powerful women in myths tend to end up as witches, monsters, or cautionary tales? 🐍 Coincidence or philosophy waiting to happen?

At this meetup we’ll dive into a slightly mischievous question: Is society actually afraid of women or of femininity itself?

We’ll explore ideas from philosophy, psychology, mythology, and culture. From Medusa’s stare to the “femme fatale,” to modern gender debates, we’ll poke at a big question:

Are people reacting to women or to traits like vulnerability, emotion, intuition, and power that we’ve labeled “feminine”?
