Cindy Sherman could be un-famous working out of her basement and she'd still be one of the most interesting and terrifying artists out there. Maybe it's not her fame that he's jealous of.

I went back to the original Jez post on it and some of the links. I think this man is venting his... frustration, or whatever you want to call it. And um, I guess it's art. But I find it difficult to believe that Mister H-O should be all that shocked when women react with a dismissive "oh, cry me a fucking river."

Note to SomeAuthorGirl-Exes: make a movie about how I made you feel like shit and I'll sue, art bedamned.

So, an unwittingly truthful film. Thanks, H-O! As a female artist who's constantly shunted aside and overlooked by dudes no matter what my work looks like, I actually think you've done us a huge favor.

@Gingerlime: ha! my first reaction to the headline was, 'no one's making the art establishment LOOK sexist; the art establishment IS sexist!'

@Gingerlime:

I'm a photographer, still in school, and it might give you a bit of hope to know that out of my year, consisting of 60 people, maybe only 15 are male. It's the same for most other years and some other art schools in my city. This generation of photographers is overwhelmingly female, even though our professors and mentors are overwhelmingly male. I'm not sure how the concentration is for other mediums, but the face of photography is changing rather quickly.

@AndNowForSomethingDifferent: Sadly, the vast majority of art students have always been female (well, at least for the last 30 years) but the people that "make it" in the industry continue to be male.

I do truly wish you the best though! I studied photography, but eventually became and art director and took a job in advertising so that I could pay the rent.

@AndNowForSomethingDifferent: Not to burst your bubble, but having mostly female students does not mean that in 20-30 years the powerful photographers will mostly be female.

Psychology is a good example. PhD students in psychology have been overwhelmingly female since the 1960s, but if you look at who holds the professorships, there aren't as many women as you would expect to see.

Having a lot of women in a field doesn't mean that is who will be promoted and celebrated.

Uh, I don't know if this is totally irrelevant, but I just went back to that original post and H-O left a comment on the thread:
