Please know that it's not anti feminist to say that a woman (*cough* Helen and Persephone*cough*) who was kidnapped WAS kidnapped and didn't go by choice ❤️
#like yes.. agency ig#but don't romanticise it#and dont erase it#when historically they were kidnapped/abducted long before society came around and said they had a choice#Helen didnt run away eith Paris she was ABDUCTED#She wasnt a bitch or petty or jealous or whatever#she was happy with menelaus#she loved her daughter and her brothers and ugh#she hated paris#like read book 3 of the iliad and tell me thats love#and Persephone#she was happy with her mother!!!#the same mother everyone demonises for SAVING her daughter???#if the mother??? is calling it kidnap?? then it is most likely probably kidnap like????#and not just demeter?? hecate???#like maybe persephone grew to love Hades but not in the beginning when he ABDUCTED her from her safe space of flowers and from her mother an#and friends#and her sisters in some versions#i could write an essay#the amount of people i see saying helen just wanted to cause a war and she hated menelaus and NO#And when they try to demonise Demeter 🧍♀️➡️🚪
