Persephone.

But,...it was fucking cold last night....and that is what spawned today's entry.

Back in Novemeber Becky and I were ranting about it being cold...and one of us would ask aloud in a frustrated tone, "Why is it Cold!" and the other would respond, "November". ...and sometimes we would play on the line from the Royal Tenenbaums and say, "Well you're evil......and it's november" ("Well she's married...................and she's your sister")

Well, it seems that the November thing has really stuck...so even last night when she asked why it was cold....I responded, November.

And then I added that I was also the fault of that bitch Persephone. And the Becky asked me why it's always the girl's fault, and that got us thinking.....Why are the women to blame in that myth? Why are Persephone and Dementer to blame for winter?

Really it's the fault of that fucking bastard Hades that couldn't keep his dick in his pants and he was just riding along in his chariot and decides,..."hey there's a hot chick, I think she should be mine" and thus he scoops her up and hauls her down to the Underworld to do with as he will.

And the myth protrays Demeter in a bad light because she let the climate go to hell....but really Her Daughter was Dead!!! I mean seriously....Not only was she a mother....but she was mother freaking earth! ...She nurtures the world and is the source of that type of life...and should couldn't even nurture her daughter properly (like all parents dealing with grief blaming herself) and so she just layed around in bed feeling worthless ..and really with her dying I'm sure she was questioning her will to live...or really why anything else needed to live. ...It's not like she was pissed off and wanted used her sway over the earth to manipulate (which is how we are taught the myth), instead she was grief strickened.

And poor Persephone, pulled from life, earth and mother at a young age....forced to be a sex slave (we are taught Queen....but there's no way Hades considered her an equal)...terrified and emotionally starved...for a good while I'm sure she was too depressed to think about eating,...but at some point...she started to accept her situation....and a kind soul who was not the the fucker who kidnapped her and has been raping her,...offers her something to eat,...She takes it!

And thus when she is inevitiabely rescued....Why is she blamed for eating? Why is Winter Her Fault? ....And why is that Fucker still allowed to have her a few months out of every year just because she ate a few fricking seeds?

No.....winter should be blamed on Hades not Demeter and Persephone. Clearly the bringer of death should be to blame for the death of things once a year.

Clearly another myth where women are protrayed as manipultive and bitchy,.....and a guy just taking a girl because he can....is condoned. ...what girl won't want to be a sex slave to the god of the Underworld?
