Even on an academic level, though, if Dara had bothered to look up the story properly, he would have realised it made perfect sense as the whole point of her tragedy was that she was incredibly hot, got raped by Poseidon in a temple of Athena as a result and was cursed by Athena because the dipshit goddess didn't think to go after the rapist and instead punished the victim. The point is, Medusa was so hot it led to her being cursed.
Funnily enough it's actually a super apt name. Imagine the irony of feminists adopting the Medusa as a symbol for 'female rage', when it originally stands for 'the ugly and venomous parts of women' capable of rendering the male potential inert; something to be slain and defeated by a (male) hero.... so basically feminists are saying they are the ugly and venomous part of the female gender and they're to be slain and defeated by a righteous (male) hero.. ^_^ It's sad yet funny at the same time...
@@ayporos ... all of that irritated me purely because that's not the only, nor oldest interpretation, of Medusa. Like, fuck off. The whole "female rage" shit I don't even think is a part of the original bit either honestly. Y'all need to stop fucking with my favorite subjects.

Well I looked into it.. Medusa makes a vow to Athena to be a celibate priestess, only to then screw Poseidon, marry him & break her vow to Athena causing the ol' snake head situ. She seems to serve as a warning not to use ones beauty as a weapon, as doing so is ugly. Disney obviously amalgamated it into their version of "The Little Mermaid."

To be honest, "Medusa" as a strip club name is a little appropriate; the dancers may not actually turn you to stone, well, at least no all of you...

Medusa was more beautiful than a Greek goodess, so the goddess cursed Medusa to where anybody that gazed opon her be turned to stone. Jealousy....lol.
"So, Medusa, you like turning men hard, do ya? We'll see how you like it now..."
I dunno, maybe the name _Medusa_ for a strip club was somewhat more cerebral than a cursory examination of the moniker might suggest; Medusa was supposed to be a great beauty, after all (before she was cursed, that is). Then we have the added notion of being turned to stone. So if we add these up, we have "Women so beautiful, they'll get you as hard as stone!"
