< 5% of artists are women but 85% of the nudes are female

This "invites the British public to go to their local museums and count the number of female nudes on the walls compared to the number of female artists' work."

"Called The Male Graze, the project is part of Art Night, a contemporary art festival that was previously held across different parts of London but is going nationwide for the first time this year (18 June-18 July)."

interesting project and stats (not surprising sadly). shame about the 'intersectional feminism'

From the unherd article.

But those currently demanding that the woke cancel Foucault for kiddy-fiddling or be outed as hypocrites are looking in the wrong direction.

There was quite a lot of choice for most offensive line in that article but trivialising child sex abuse is a despicable low.

Agree, FOJN. Some points raised are worth discussing, but never with such glib dismissal of victims.

Agree, FOJN. Some points raised are worth discussing, but never with such glib dismissal of victims.
I worry that such glib expressions are indicative of callousness or part of the creep of normalisation of such phenomena.
