I've never been good at symbolism. I interpreted it as men, no matter how good or heroic (Perseus), will be taken down by the monsters (women, Medusa here) willing to use the system (he was beheaded, so the sword he had planned to use) against them. A reversal of the old name and shame system for sluts I guess. Now sluts are holding the weapon.

That is exactly what it's actually meant to symbolize.
