No one had looked into Milicent’s story because she was a woman. Historians had dismissed her because she was a woman. Milicent was the only female in a male-dominated space. Instead of assuming that she was there for work because she was talented, these troglodytes assumed she was there for the only thing many men assume women are there for: male pleasure. In order to invalidate that assumption, they needed her artistic contributions to be proved beyond all doubt.
Men are trash!!!
