Comment on Mona: Australia women's-only museum files appeal to keep men out

Same typically goes for almost any artist. They didn’t go through the trouble of creating the art only to end up with others saying who does or doesn’t get to view it.
Matter of fact, did Picasso or any of the other artists leave a will? Or for any of the artists that might still be alive or with living descendants, do they get a word in about it?
They should.

She’s not saying the law is right…
Also Picasso was a renowned chauvinist and misogynist who had affairs with teenagers as a 70 year old…

How does everyone know my last name?
Not all Chauvins fit that stereotype. Would be nice if people would stop using my last name as a broad insult. But hell, I can’t expect discriminatory people to leave my family name out of their mouth.
That would be too much like a step in the right direction.

Nah not really. I’m almost 42 years old and have heard my last name used as a sexist insult my whole life.
People that use that word in an insulting manner are sexist. You just used that word.
You just did a 2+2. Maybe you should try doing a 2-2, and remove that and other sexist terms from your descriptive vocabulary.
It’s not an adjective, it’s a family name.
