THE CURRENT FEMALE/MALE BIRTH RATE IS APPROXIMATELY EQUAL. MOVE INTO THE WORLD OF ART SCHOOL, THE FEMALE/MALE RATIO SKYROCKETS TO 75% FEMALE TO 25% MALE. SO THIS PERPETUATED MYTH THAT FEMALES ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE ART WORLD IS A WILD & FLAGRANT LIE. FLASH FORWARD TO 2015 & SEEING ALL THESE FEMALE ONLY SHOWS JUST EXEMPLIFIES EXCLUSIONARY TACTICS STILL AT PLAY IN THE CONTEMPORARY ART WORLD.
GROWING UP GOING TO LADYFEST & SUPPORTING RIOT GRRRL BANDS, PINK PRESS, ETC. SLEATER-KINNEY WAS A HIGH SCHOOL LIFESAVER, BUT A ONE WAY SUPPORT SYSTEM REALLY ISN’T WORKING ANYMORE.
IN NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE GENDER ISN’T A BINARY CONSTRUCT, YOU HAVE FEMININE FEMALES, MASCULINE FEMALES, MASCULINE MALES, & FEMININE MALES. SO LOOK AT 2015 WE ARE IN TIME WHEN BOTH MALES & FEMALES ARE PERFORMING CROSS GENDER ROLES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN THEIR NATIVE GENDERS (CROSS DRESSING, GENDER BENDING, DRAG, TRANS, GENDER NON-CONFORMING, INTERSEX, FTM, MTF,?) AGAIN WITH THE LABEL GAME. ZZZZZZZZ.
LETS START CURATING SHOWS BASED ON DYNAMICS & DIVERGENCE OF THOUGHT RATHER THAN PERPETUATING TIRED OUT GENDER DIVISIONS, (THINK MORE WIFE SWAP, AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL (POST SEASON 20) LESS THE VIEW, THE TALK, THE REAL, ETC) MEN AND WOMEN ARE ON AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD RIGHT? OR KEEP DOING THOSE EXCLUSIONARY PROJECTS, BUT CATEGORIZE THEM AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN CONTEMPORARY. JUST LIKE TOO MUCH TESTOSTERONE, TOO MUCH ESTROGEN ISN’T A GOOD THING EITHER.
