Feminist Folklore

A podcast where feminists talk about women's role in folklore? This can't be good (or can it?)

Medusa was raped by Poseidon in Athena’s temple after seeking help from her... Due to Athena’s jealousy she cursed Medusa w hair of venomous snakes. She was punished for being raped.. I can’t believe I thought she was a villain this whole time.

This week’s episode is a version of Cinderella you may not have heard - or, rather, Cinderella is a version of this tale!

[Feminist Folklore @femlorepod]

@FrogNapalm Yes, this is a great one!

Theory: Snow White actually dies at the end of the Disney movie, and The Prince is a representation of Death. https://t.co/Bvqtu0qbKa

@femlorepod Oh those bears ate her thieving ass

[Feminist Folklore @femlorepod]

OK what version of The Three Bears did everyone else grow up with???

[see pinned | gloomy octopus💀 @inkyswampbones]

finding this episode of @femlorepod interesting where they talk about a version of the three bears where the (adult) version of goldilocks jumps out of the window to escape? + how the version I heard as a kid had the bears eat goldilocks so I definitely heard a Dark version lmao

[Feminist Folklore @femlorepod]

@inkyswampboy Ahaha the eating definitely seems like a realistic risk, although I feel like the version I remember from childhood made the bears seem much more harmless

@MaynardLara Yes yes yes yes yes!

This thread of people being excited about La Llorona at Mistki is a delight

This week, Rachael shares a story about a humble man in search of a wife, and the fabulous mouse who must prove herself worthy of his affections. If you like dubious criteria for selecting a bride or deadly stakes for finding love, this one's for you! https://t.co/ko4KanOtQa

Happy birthday to the French feminist writer, philosopher, and literary critic Hélène Cixous, best known for her work on women's writing, The Laugh of the Medusa. #womancrushwednesday

Today in 1919, Congress approved the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Here's to 100 years of women's suffrage! Go exercise your civil rights, ladies! #triviatuesday

Hey so @nataliawinke? The illustration @Slate used in this article is def not by #IvanBilibin. Also, if the #JohnWick film DID use Bilibin ills. for a supposed 1846 ed. then that'd be pretty off, since he wasn't born until 1876. Anyone have a screenshot? https://t.co/e32uYV57Ji
