Comment on Mona: Australia women's-only museum files appeal to keep men out
over_clox@lemmy.world 6 months agoYes, Nicholas is at the very top of my official knighted family tree. Again, it’s a family name. Should never have been used in any sort of derogatory adjective form, whether back in 1840 or in 1960, or anywhere in between or since.
Believe me, I know my roots, and I know that I don’t agree with the sexism use of my last name. You’re quoting a definition that came up in a very prejudiced era from the 1960s, back when certain people weren’t allowed to do certain things, such as drink from the wrong water fountain.
You sure do seem to know a lot about these antiquated discriminatory words don’t you? Have you considered trying to like not refer to dictionaries written in discriminatory times?
Back on point, yes I’ve gathered that Picasso wasn’t all that great of a dude. Neither was Mozart, he had a shit fetish. Does that stop people from appreciating their artistic works?

I think you have a backward view of what sexism in the 60s looked like.
And my god man, I have no beef with Picasso and never said no one should appreciate Picasso’s works. I was arguing with you:

Nicholas was most certainly not a fictional character. Try getting an actual official Chauvin family tree ancestry and read over it. You’ll see.

“Most certainly” according to what source? Every source I see says there’s zero historical evidence he ever existed, and many stories attributed to him have been traced to other actual historical figures.
Responding to your other comment here, I think you’re just completely missing the point here. Again, I’m not saying no one should appreciate Picasso’s art. I’m saying that way back in the before-times, when we were talking about an art installation that challenges gender discrimination, you said Picasso would “heavily protest the discrimination,” but based on all available evidence, that’s what the French call “horseshit.”

Every source you see has also been tainted by Derek’s horrible actions and the nature of the internet to corrupt information.
Like I said, get an official Chauvin family ancestry book (you know, those things made with paper), and read over the family tree, before the era of digital corruption.
My late grandmother had the official ancestry book.
There are other sources of information besides our now half bot/AI corrupted internet.
