opinions on helen of sparta being compared to prey animals? blink blink

*blink blinks back* Then immediately sits like this because of the question.

It's a good question that I'm happy to answer! It just makes me mad.... I sincerely hate the wording of "prey" being used to describe her.

SHE IS A VICTIM! THAT DOES NOT MEAN SHE IS "PREY"!

I can...see how people in ancient times may have used that word and still meant it in how she is a victim... but modern-day English-speaking people calling her that??? (considering how in different languages the word "prey" could have different meanings.) I'll just say that as someone who has been "prey" herself at one point, I REALLY hate that word as a descriptor. Just say victim or survivor. 👍

Honestly to call ANY victim "prey" is so fucked up. "Prey" to me, feels like "it's meant to happen." "Prey" are part of the food chain and so that's what happens. And to compare that to abduction and SA? Almost as if "that's our place"? It also kind of implies something being "eaten" or killed... Helen SURVIVES. She's traumatized and definitely needs healing and support but it's not like she can't find joy or peace ever again. Prey just feels so fucking gross.

Also, if someone calls victims "prey", I hope they know that Moose, Elk, Boars, Bovine, ZEBRAS, etc. are technically "prey". And these are VERY aggressive animals while still being "prey" for some other animals. And also that doesn't mean that "Oh, they're powerful! Clearly they should've been able to stop it." That's victim blaming :P

She is a clever, determined, caring woman who was ripped from her home for YEARS because Paris was a dipshit who decided he needed the prettiest woman in the world despite already having a wife. He didn't care about the fact that Helen didn't want to be there and was already married. He is so selfish that he will not let her go back even when THOUSANDS have died in the war! EVEN HIS BROTHER HECTOR AND PRIAM DO NOT BLAME HER! Granted, we do not know if Aphrodite would have let him undo their deal of "I want the prettiest woman" if he DID end up feeling bad for Helen and he wished to let her go home (I doubt it based on his personality though).

"Oh, if she is so independent/strong, then why didn't she just kill Paris and leave?"

AGAIN! Victim blaming!!! First thing, people who ask that have media literacy that is piss on the poor. You also have no idea about the political implications that would have happened if she DID kill Paris. She literally cries about staying there and argues with Aphrodite about seeing Paris, only to get strongarmed by Aphrodite as, guess what? A GODDESS WILL ALWAYS OVERPOWER A DEMIGOD. (This isn't Percy Jackson where he "killed" Ares as a 12 year old (Percy, you were my childhood, but that's bullshit.))

Even confined in Troy, she ARGUED with APHRODITE about going to see Paris! She is not some meek woman who just does as she's told with no pushback! She argued with a GODDESSS! Very few survive doing that!!!

She's not "Prey to fate", she's a "VICTIM of Fate".

oh my god she is SO avoiding having actual Management Conversations with me

following hit single 'let's do my handover on Thursday afternoon. oh you're on a train Thursday afternoon? that's been in your diary for like 3 weeks and I personally approved your leave that afternoon? well never mind oh no I don't think we need a separate handover for the massive project I'm asking you to pick up I'll just fold it into the team meeting on Friday. ok well we didn't really talk about it but you have 2/10 of the email chains so you're good, right?'

I am jamming to the followup track 'let's do your 6-weekly 1:1, of which we have done half of one since I joined in May, as an extension to our regularly scheduled to-do list catch-up next Monday instead of as a standalone meeting.'

friends I have had leave for next Monday scheduled for OVER THREE MONTHS because, guess the fuck what, I AM ON A TRAIN

it's aew weekend I have mentioned this literally Every Time we talk about upcoming leave for the last 2 months. 'ok I'm off this week and then the only other leave I have scheduled is the last Monday in August. oh yeah I'm going to London for a wrestling show it's going to be fun. that's why I will be in London and not here.'

It is AUGUST and I have LITERALLY NEVER LOOKED AT MY OBJECTIVES WITH HER. we have had ONE 1:1 and it was exclusively taken up with me trying to smooth over the conflict between us and figure out a way of working that suits both of us, to which she accused me of being unmanageable and complained to our senior manager. that's the first and last time we attempted a structured 1:1. I still don't have finalised objectives as we approach halfway through the fucking year.
