This statue is actually perfectly emblematic of feminism, in a way that I doubt the creator intended. Life and the world are horrifically tragic, to point that people constantly screw each other over without any knowledge of their "victim's" circumstances. Feminism doesn't give a shit about anyone else's tragic circumstances, past or present, but women's and seeks to subvert every situation so that women are never the victim.
Except, you'll notice, that Medusa is still depicted as a monster, even if she defeated Perseus in this work. Because the tragedy is inescapable.
