Medusa complex

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people really like snakes and some people are really scared of them? Well, the Medusa complex is a big idea that comes from a really old mythological story about a lady named Medusa who had snakes for hair. In the story, anyone who looked at Medusa directly would turn into stone because they were so scared of her.

Nowadays, people use the term Medusa complex to describe a type of psychological pattern where someone is really afraid of certain powerful women in their life, like their boss or their mom. It's like they think the women will turn them into stone if they don't listen to them or do what they say.

But the thing is, the Medusa complex is actually just kind of made up – it's not a real thing that happens to most people. So, while it might be good to listen to people who are in charge, we don't need to be scared of them like they're mythical monsters.
