♉ is for Taurus

The Rape of Europa by Félix Vallotton
I know this might get me in trouble, but let’s for a moment look at this story from the man’s point of view. Because, according to some of the accounts I’ve heard, it was she who caressed his flanks, it was she who mounted him. And, yes, I’ll admit he was pretending to be something he wasn’t; but really, the two of them were already well on their way before she even began to have second thoughts. He took her to Crete and made her a queen. He showered her with gifts, and now she cries rape? I call bullshit.

    Of course she cried rape. Can you imagine taking the bull home and saying to her parents this is my new boyfriend?

    It couldn't have been that bad. Afterall she hangs around Jupiter (Zeus) constantly as his biggest fan (the moon)!
