Jason Didn't Consent, Medea(and women) most affected

About this episode

"The chariot she was in was basically the gods saying, we'd like to have a word with you. Here's your Uber. You're in for a right royal bollocking."

Brian, Alison and TL;DR keep going on the video defending Euripides' Medea as a feminist text — this time on the play itself.

Also: the fact that no god ever ratifies the killing, and what the chorus is actually doing at the end; why Jason's oath was sworn to Hera and what that meant for his options; the three generations it takes to run out of grandfathers and brothers; and a Dutch headline about a girl who viewed herself as a dog.

"The thing that will radicalise people against feminism the most is feminism itself. So many of the arguments we make aren't even arguments — they're just showing people what feminists have written."

"I didn't drink the cup of crazy? Then I lose Hera's blessing and make an enemy of the most powerful goddess. That wasn't in the cards for me. I had to drink the crazy."
