Mythsogyny
Join story nerds C Alexandra and John Cordial in their often meandering, but certainly illuminating conversations about the stories humans tell themselves and the way no one—not even gods and heroes—can escape misogyny.

Episode 9
Not all men, some are dead. This month we'll be joining our hosts C. Alexandra and John as they explore stories across mythology, history, and folklore about killing dudes. From the husbands murdered by Aqua Tofana, to the men drowned by the Rusalka and on to Medea (with a couple others thrown in between.) We are going to excise some anger today and talk about what happens when people feel the best option they have is to end their oppression through any means necessary.
