Guerrilla Warfare

I don't know if it is that I am not sympathetic enough or just that too many people are over-sensitive, but whenever stuff like this comes up, the discussion always goes to shit. I have and always will value women's contributions to the world, including art, as equally as I do men's. I'm disappointed that the world needs to have groups like this to bring up "issues" like this. I don't believe that a bunch of girls in guerrilla masks attending art shows are going to convince women to become artists. You need to appeal to the masses, and these guerrillas are appealing to the crazy. I would love for them to be successful; all artwork is inspiring and innovative, regardless of who it came from. Unfortunately, when it comes down to it, these girls are doubtfully making an impact on people who would be willing to pursue futures in fine arts. You have to play the game. It's as simple as that. Maybe men just happened to play the game better in the past, but it sure is looking like women are catching on. My message to anyone who wants to pursue art: work hard, put in the time, and be yourself. As Neal DeGrasse Tyson said: "if everyone had the luxury of expressing the unique combination of talents in this world, our society would be transformed overnight." Be yourself, and you will succeed. I don't know your definition of success, that is up to you, but whatever that may be, I urge you to get there.
