>"From all the creatures who have life and consciousness, we women suffer the most"
Euripedes, on Medea.
This is interesting. It was written by a man, who by the parameters of nowadays, supposedly is not able to understand women suffering.

I'm not even trying to be political in any sense here, it is just bizarre how since the ancient times we were aware of the suffering of humanity not only as a its genres, but as a problem of the species, yet we chose to make ressentful moviments through history just because our egoistical nature is bigger than everything.

Local woman who has just hacked her own children to death with a bronze sword: "We women suffer the most."

women are merely an object of our lust, just like the vast world fulfills our desire to explore, our potential to create, our pride to compete and dominate, women are simply the element we cast our lust and love upon

Yes, that is the point of the play. The husband and wife were too caught up in a play of power between themselves that they took no regard for the children. The play is a masterpiece.

And yet, most of you can't score even with one woman. How the turn tables, kek.
