WOMEN
The power that women have been able to attain in today's society has come a long way from the atrocities of the past. While there has been many positive and powerful experiences for the women's movement, there is still many misogynistic experiences and stereotypes that harm the view of women.

The Humiliation of Love & Beauty
My idea for this weekly comment was to pursue "The Loves of Ares and Aphrodite" and look upon the misogynistic embarrassment the Aphrodite had faced. While I understand this text was written years-and-years ago, it's idea of worshipping the men and belittling the women was evidently overdramatized.
