By contrast, this scene of Perseus-Trump brandishing the dripping, oozing head of Medusa-Clinton was very much part of the everyday, domestic American decorative world. It may take a moment or two to take in that normalisation of gendered violence, but if you were ever doubtful about the extent to which the exclusion of women from power is culturally embedded or unsure of the continued strength of classical ways of formulating and justifying it — well, I give you Trump and Clinton, Perseus and Medusa, and rest my case.
That means thinking about power differently. It means decoupling it from public prestige. It means thinking collaboratively, about the power of followers not just of leaders. The hard truth is that the Amazons were a Greek male myth.
The basic message was that the only good Amazon was a dead one, or — to go back to awful Terry — one that had been mastered, in the bedroom. The underlying point was that it was the duty of men to save civilisation from the rule of women. So it is better to speak. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for. When I'm thirsty, I drink.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has — Margaret Mead.
If you are a feminist you believe in equal rights as a whole. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. Find a sense of self. With that, you can do anything else. Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get. I believe that reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and, above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing toward being a champion. I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on Earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.
Success is getting what you want. Observed what maybe even Uncle, the reader of people, had missed. They need your prayers more than your anger. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent. Otherwise, let it roll right off you.
