    Art is for girls?? As if art isn’t one of the fundamental parts of being human? As if women haven’t been barred from art schools and ateliers for thousands of years?

      I cannot describe to you my reaction when he told me that story. It’s been 10 years and I’m still stunned.

        Those women were outliers who pursued art despite being met with misogyny in nearly every corner of their field. (Also I know barely any Reneissance artists by name)

      Exactly, that guy’s dad is an idiot. Clearly, art is for men, and he should have burned his daughter’s sketchbook!
