20 years of using the F word

Feminism. That's the F word in this case. Following this link: http://www.guerrillagirls.com/ will take you to the site of the Guerrilla Girls. I spent some time there and popped in and out of the pages and the surprise I found was that they've been doing what they're doing since 1985. Yep, amazing, before some of you were even born the Guerrilla Girls were standing up for your right to make art and attempt to get the same respect that men do. Of course the real goal is that it doesn't make a difference what the gender is, that it should be the art that matters. The oddity continually pointed out is that women routinely get the short end of the stick when it comes to respect/money/shows in the art world.

I agree with them. I have certainly seen evidence of an institutional bias towards the work of women in the art world. At this point some men manage to get respect in their lifetimes but from what I see the women have to die first. I suppose that means that at least women get treated the same across all career fields. :)

In any case, do go check out the site. There's actually even a nice store to buy cool stuff at.

Go ahead. Flaunt the F word in public.
