"Homer didn't give women enough attention."
Did we read the same epics?
Helen starts a war.
Athena outplays gods and heroes alike.
Penelope humiliates an entire house full of suitors for years.
Circe turns grown men into pigs.
Calypso keeps the hero stranded for seven years.
Cassandra knows the future while everyone else plays the fool.
Nausicaa rescues the hero when he washes ashore naked and helpless.
Andromache delivers one of the greatest anti-war speeches ever written.
Hecuba becomes the face of war's devastation.
Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis literally influence the fate of nations and the decisions of Zeus himself.
But sure... Homer just "forgot" about women.
Maybe the issue isn't Homer.
Maybe the issue is trying to force a 2,800-year-old masterpiece through the lens of the 2026 political climate 😑
“A century of experience has taught me this with certainty: anger never persuades, hostility never heals, and contention never leads to lasting solutions.”
— Russell M. Nelson (1924-2025)
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
@MrsErikaKirk When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well; it is well with my soul.”
@thedebralea Agreed completely. These psychopaths feel like they’ve won when they get infamy over stuff like this. Better to focus on Charlie and his life. Let the criminal rot in jail the rest of his/her life in utter obscurity.
@elonmusk He didn’t spend so sensibly last time, so I’d like to see that improve. However, there’s no question that Biden has been dramatically worse with spending, and during an inflationary spiral 🤦♂️
I remember noticing this in a satellite video I was watching with my dad. I couldn’t believe it. He said something along the lines of, “That’s the difference between capitalism and communism.”
