I constantly see that concept of - if we are giving voice and such to a study of Penelope, that means we have to condemn Helen. It's the Type-1 Girl vs Type-2 Girl thing that is just so stupid. I get the same feels over the portrayal of Hermione that has her married off and bitingly envious of Andromache-as-slave who has "stolen" her husband. It's definitely okay for women to be petty, yes, but my headcanon Greek/Trojan women know each other better than that, and know the world stage better.
