Hera Could've Done it Differently

I have taken fancy in Greek mythology lately and I thought Hera would be an interesting character to talk about. Hera is an impossible woman to understand. How can she forgive the philandering ways of her husband, Zeus, but cannot find it in her heart to spare the innocent nymphs or mortals who had been nothing but unwilling objects of her husband's lewd desires? Apparently, she does not understand justice nor reason. If you ask me, this woman deserves to be bitchslapped to her senses.

A nice chat with Loretta Bobbit could've easily ended Hera's misery. She could've cut Zeus' phallic tail of virility (assuming gods do have such things in between their legs) and that would've put an end to the scumbag's infidelity. She could've kicked Zeus out from Mount Olympus and become Queen of the Universe. She could have twenty Adonises at her beck and call, satisfying her every whim. But none of these happened because Hera chose to be stuck in a bad marriage, eternally believing Zeus would tire of his romantic pursuits.

There are many disillusioned women out there who, like Hera, believe they can keep their husbands from cheating. And this I say to you: This whole cheating business is a manifestation of a god-knows-what insecurity your husband is suffering from. Read: He won't change. Stop being masochistic lovefools. You don't have to be marionettes of doomed relationships. You can cut yourself off from that predicament. Ask Loretta. The woman is an expert in the cutting business.
