The best I can come up with to 'splain your article is that you took eight Womyn's Oppression classes at UCSC (and got A in each one) and took one Critical Thinking class and got a D-.

Your interpretations of the meaning behind the drawings is your OPINION -- which you certainly are entitled to. They have no basis in fact or relationship to the TRUTH (if there is such a thing). Art interpretation is an excercise in expressing the SUBJECTIVE feelings and emotions that the piece of art has upon the INDIVIDUAL. As such, each individual will have a different feeling about a piece of art according to their personal experiences, education, cultural background, family life, morals, values and countless other personal influences including brainwashing.

Please don't try to inflict your sick interpretations on the rest of society. This is the mark of a fanatic or zealot. The evangelical christians believe that anyone who doesn't take Jesus Christ as their personal savior is destined for eternal damnation. That's fine if they want to believe that but I'm not going to listen to their version of what living is all about. I've got my own ideas. I don't go to their church and tell them they are full of it and that they should listen to my personal philosophy. I don't like proselytizers. If an idea is good enough people will seek it out. If it is weak then people will be sent out to proselytize or propogandize for it.

Trying to force your world view and opinions on others is how fights are started. If that is what you are after you certainly have succeeded. You have stirred up a lot of animosity on both sides. The politicians that you hate are also good at this. Polarizing people who may have a lot of other things in common is not an honorable pursuit. But then you are "Activists" ... without a real cause, tilting at pinwheels.


A few questions:

What do you think was the artist's intent for these illustrations?

Do you think Zoe Mozert was trying to demean the women in these illustrations?

Did you know that the model in the first, second and last illustrations is Zoe herself?

Do you think art should be censored or removed from display because it offends a certain political interest group?

Do you think you will be missed at the Seabright Brewery?
