After Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I just had a flashback of reading âChain of thornsâ for the first time and experiencing a huge, feminist rage caused by Maria SkĹodowska-Curie being refered to as Marie Curie (the author @cassandraclare couldnât even got her name right? Câmon, do a research!). The west world erasing the fact that Maria (not âMarieâ) was Polish is such a big problem. Itâs not only xenophobic, because for some reason people canât accept that a Polish scientist could be that successful, but also misogynistic, since youâre trying to belittle her and make everything about her being a wife of a FRENCH MAN. Her being married didnât stop the undeniable fact that she was Polish and she named one of the chemical elements POLONIUM (clearly after her freaking homeland), not Frenchonium (lol). Her wish was to be remembered as a Polish scientist who couldnât live and study in her own country, because it was occupied by Prussia, Austria and Russia for 123 years.
So her being admired by both Christopher Lightwood and Astrid and also being called the FEMINIST ICON while constantly getting both her name, surname and nationality (not citizenship) wrong is such a disgusting joke. I had enough.
I know that the only people who care are Polish, but Iâm so tired and bitter about this. If you canât even remeber her name (Maria SKĹODOWSKA-Curie, thatâs not so difficult!), then donât call yourself feminist, thatâs a hypocrisy 𤣠Or just leave her alone, that poor woman doesnât deserve such a treatment.
Again, Iâm just very tired and bitter about this whole thing. If you want to call me out on this, I will just block you. I donât have enough strenght and time and will to fight in Internet. Enough Poles tried to educate others. Just go read Wikipedia (oh right, most of the versions couldnât get her name right) or something.
