I support women’s rights, but I also support women’s wrongs.

Clytemnestra is a girlboss and did absolutely nothing wrong. Apollo is a shithead but I love him for it. The chorus makes no sense to me. I read these for a mythology course and maybe I sped through the readings maybe I didn't. Again Clytemnestra girlboss she makes me think of Lady Macbeth. Good thing modern writers are mostly past demonizing powerful women.
