I’m back!!! FINALLY. I didn’t realise how long I had taken off this Instagram page- turns out it’s been a whole month 😨
Victim Blaming: The Past and The Present is an article I have spent all day writing whilst trying to get my head around the appalling nature of comments that I have seen in response to the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, comments that blame her for what has happened. This article comes with a trigger warning, it discusses rape, sexual assault and murder and victim blaming.
As promised the first short article about women is up! This one is called “Periods of History” and details some ancient views on the female body and how those ideals have subconsciously permeated through to today and impacted our society! The link is in the bio! 🩸 happy reading 📖
Women have been viewed as inferior throughout history, their voices, lives and experiences silenced by androcentric historiography. The stories we do hear about women more often than not belittle and demonise, characterising women as emotionally unstable, licentious, evil and inherently flawed, created, in Greek mythology at least, to be a plague on men. In fact when you think about it, a lot of mythological creatures and “monsters” (like good old Medusa here) are women - I wonder why that is?!
Well the Shakespeare jigsaw is finished!!! This was such a fun jigsaw, really hard but really rewarding, mainly because of the historical theme 😂 I loved spotting historical figures like Queen Elizabeth I and finding all the Shakespeare plays that are hidden throughout the jigsaw like Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Nights Dream ✨
I will do a post about the pantheon, but today is not that day 😂 Today I am just sat missing my favourite city in the world, sunshine and friends!
