I wish people would stop saying that Campbell's view of women is narrow. He called women the embodiment of the Goddess for Christ's sake. in other words, women are born with half of their Hero's Journey completed.
Of course, that's changed drastically in our modern age. Men and women all start equally lost in my opinion.

wow, no. stop that nonsense: Hero does not mean Heroin. The monomyth IS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT the male journey. This is tied to male archetypes. Women have their own completely separate monomyth. Men and women are NOT the same. It is not helping women.

Woah, hold a a bit. The Buddha did not set out on his journey because he was bored. The Buddha set out on the noble purpose of finding a way to alleviate suffering. Get it right. I believe you owe folks an apology for this misinterpretation.

Thanks for this. I'm around 200 pages into Cambells books right now, and this is exactly what I needed to double check I was understanding it all right.
Thankfully I am, but man is his book ever a word-soup. Not for average reading.

What's so wrong with hetero normative mythology - it represents most of humanity. So long as the mythology does not promote cruelty towards the non hetero normative, it makes sense to speak to the majority before the minority.

You really had to dig to the bottom of the barrel to find that irrelevant and non-sequitur story at the end in order to tick those gender and diversity boxes. It is sad that we have to deal with it isn't it.

-Shared qualities of human story telling? - How about -the elders- are often a bunch of nasty jerks. An observation from a old guy here. Wisdom don't come easily with age, nastiness does.

First, is the icon for master of two worlds a pair of waffles? And second. You didn't talk about the Mayan end of the world. And that one is FASCINATING!

Don't apologize for Campbell's work. If people aren't mature enough to read it without being offended, they have no business reading his work, period.

I checked out when he started to apologize for Campbell's -dude-centric- view of the world and the masculine overtones in the term: hero.
