>In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/nɑːrˈsJsəs/; Ancient Greek: Νάρκισσος Nárkissos) was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia (alternatively Mimas or modern day Karaburun, Izmir) who was known for his beauty. According to Tzetzes, he rejected all romantic advances, eventually falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, staring at it for the remainder of his life. After he died, in his place sprouted a flower bearing his name.

this description is something similar to what a woman (a contemporary woman more so) would do, specially in this social media age where even butt-ugly girls take 100+ pictures of themselves and post online for everyone to see it, gathering thousands of likes

You've absolutely lost the plot if you think it's only women who do that. Also, unlike the modern e-thot or roided up fitness influencer, Narcissus isn't performing for anyone. His 'narcissism' is completely internal.

modern women also have internal narcissism, they just like to boast it on social media for added benefit

Because it's a flaw in man's character. Woman is expected to be a dumb slut. The Greeks knew this.

No they don’t, they hate themselves and think they are ugly so they seek validation. 99% of women hate themselves because of their body. Only insecure people seek approval. Hence makeup, filters, photoshop, taking 500 pictures to get the right one

Narcissus was based in disregarding the women. 'Narcissistic' women on the contrary can't stop thinking about men.

Read picrel.

Besides that your example is not functional at all.
You claim women seek validation through means of social media.
Validation from outside.

Narcissus couldn’t care less about validation from outside. Or even critique for that matter. He couldn’t even recognize it, couldn’t identify with any of it.
That’s why he’s so perplexed by his own image. Endless potential.

Stop viewing the world through a screen.

Just like every other character traits narcissism manifests itself way strongly in man than in women. Maybe on average women are more narcissistic than men, but the most narcissistic person would be a man. Therefore the tale is a warning for men, who are more prone to extremes
