Well, while fort the most part I tend to agree with what seems to be the general consensus of my fellow forumites regarding this article, there is ONE issue it raised that actually kinda struck close to home to me; the whole "men's feelings" issue.

I've been accused of being too sentimental for a guy in the past, yet I almost never talk about my feelings. But that's not because of some unwritten rule of the guy code of conduct, it's because, well... when I tried to speak about my feelings in the past, nobody really cared. I'm serious, nobody gave the slightest bit of a damn how I felt, ever. Not my parents, not my friends, not even the various shrinks my mother kept shuffling me through in the hopes they'd talk my problems away. These people were paid to listen to me, yet all they did was give me the standard "man up" response, albeit in a more delicate way than most other people.

The reason men don't talk about their feelings is that they know that if they do, they will, at best, be ignored, and at worst, mocked for it. And yes, I agree it's pretty unreasonable for society to expect men to carry themselves as cold, emotionless automatons on their day-to-day life, but that's what it expects nonetheless.

The graphic clip is described by Lauren as “feminist performance art concerned with the female body”, but it unabashedly exposes a lot more than her feminist values.

The intimate performance shows her inserting a knife handle into her vagina and throwing garish red tomatoes at the blade, giving birth to a small, plastic Bambi figurine, and blowing a condom out of her vagina – all to a background of Happy by Leona Lewis and Poison by Nicole Scherzinger.

Am I incorrect in noticing that a sizeable portion of feminist 'art' involves shooting stuff out of their vaginas?

Freud's penis envy on full display, no?

They wish they could ejaculate privilege with a full-on patriarchy.

Silly women, tricks are for men.

Exhibit A
Exhibit B

No, you're absolutely correct. A non-negligible portion also revolves around excrement and menstrual blood. They have smashed the glass ceiling of human degeneracy.

The Nazis once organised a campaign called the "Degenerate Art Exhibition", in which modernist works were displayed alongside works created by mental health patients; the public were then challenged to work out which was which. I'm no fan of Nazism, but I always thought this was a brilliant idea, and it could do with a revival right about now.

Yeah... I think the Exhibit B video pretty much sums up feminist "art"...

Jesus why did I click the link?

The worst part about that is that since people paid to watch it and they feel compelled to say it was good or "profound" or else they look stupid(which they are anyway). Shit it's like the feminist version of the Royal Nonesuch from Huckleberry Finn.

As batshit as she is, she's not fully to blame, I blame her father, beta orbiters, and society as no one every ignored or laughed at her when she said she was going to do this tripe. This is why women need Patriarchy.
