Misogyny In Modern Hellenismos

Given the historical context in which Hellenismos developed, it really should come as no surprise that misogyny is to this religion what racism is to Heathenry. (We have racists, too, but they seem to be shut down in short order.) Women had very little to do with public life in ancient Hellas, and there was no word for “religion” in the language, so conflating religion and culture is bound to happen, resulting in nasty-yet-revealing exchanges like this one.

Pro tip: if you zoom in, you’ll see that the blacked out names aren’t so blacked out as they seem. Personally, I wish I knew who The Man was so I could give him kudos, and who Administrator T.J. is because I have a sinking feeling that I do indeed know, and I am hoping that I am wrong.

  1. If the “TJ” you’re thinking of is the same one I am, I’m 98%+ certain it’s him. Which wouldn’t surprise me, especially considering he barely kept it under control before his Mistress got sick of him.
