A Little Bit Wordy

[trigger warning: discussion of rape and violence]
Artemisia Gentileschi is an amazing historical figure.  A survivor who endured torture and humiliation when she tried to convict the man who raped her, she is famous for her beautifully rendered paintings of defiant women enacting violence upon men.  Above are Judith Slaying Holofernes, Judith and Maidservant, and Jael and Sisera.  It is rumored that Judith Beheading Holofernes is a self-portrait, in which Judith was painted in Gentileschi’s likeness and Holofernes was modeled after her rapist. 

I hate to say it, but this is the kind of misandry that hurts the feminist movement.

I think it’s wonderful art, as I’m a firm believer that art can be neither moral or immoral, but that some people take art like this and use it to further their crusade against men is scary and sad.

I love the feminists. I don’t love the man-haters.
