Misogyny In The Ancient World - Ep. 3 - Hesiod Was An A**hole

from 34 Circe Salon -- Make Matriarchy Great Again -- Disrupting History · host 34 Circe Salon, 34 Circe Media, Sean Marlon Newcombe, Dawn "Sam" Alden

In describing the punishment that Zeus would levy upon the world for the "transgression" of man using fire, Hesiod wrote, "At once he made an affliction for mankind..."  What was that "affliction," you ask?  Women.  And so begins our journey into the world of Hesiod, a man whose writing shaped the Greek view of the world in such a way that misogyny was considered the norm-- a norm that would echo down through the ages and affect the world that we live in today.
