I have just reterned from the cinema. I went there with family of my soul sister (yeah, she's just my bestie, but we are representatives of 3rd generation of our families, that know each other, so we are almost sisters). I was pretty nervous, but everything went okay.) And we watched Barbie. In my subjective opinion film is good, i like it.)

Me, burining out after doing 62% of all work: This is fine. *eye twitches*
I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionnaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it? You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare.

Jak był ten moment w filmie dosłownie krzyknęłam "co kurwa?" będąc w kinie. Przyjaciel mnie uciszał xd
Maria Skłodowska-Curie
Not Marie Curie. Maria Skłodowska-Curie.
Isn't it ironic that she is called a "feminist icon" in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and at the same time her deliberate choice to use her Polish name is not respected? And of course they called her "French" in the movie. Because it's so hard to grasp that she was Polish and just married a French man. And she literally called Polonium after Poland.
It's especially annoying because Poland experienced cultural erasure. Maria was born when Poland wasn't on the maps, and Poles lived under Russian, German and Austrian partitions for 123 years. Same goes for Fryderyk Chopin, who also was born at the occupied Polish territory (to a Polish mother and French father).
Calling Maria Skłodowska-Curie "Marie Curie" is lazy, incorrect and disrespectful, as it erases her identity both as a woman and as a Polish person. It's also a part of a bigger issue of people from the West looking down upon people from the East (some people say Poland is in the Eastern Europe, some say it's in the Central Europe, and as far as I'm concerned, both takes can be defended, but I'm using here the term "East" to include everyone who faces this problem). So yes, there is also some xenophobia in here.
Tl;dr Call this woman her correct name, lazy dumbasses.
