I found out today that I hate women

If you follow the link, you'll see some guy's blog on Stuckism in which
he basically lumps the entirety of the group together as a bunch of
amateurish hacks, then proceeds to rub some salt in by saying that
Stuckists as a whole are misogynistic. Lets break it down by saying
that this Rupert Mallin fellow thinks of the Stuckists as the scribbles
of jizz-spewing cock done in magic marker in the bathroom stall at the
Tate Modern.
At first, I was sort've like, "Well, I guess he doesn't like
Stuckists!" and was just about to google it all away, when I glanced at
the comment by Charles Thompson (founder of Stuckism), who then placed
blame on me and several (mostly female) artists within the movement by
saying we were the "biggest culprits" of being "sexist and
misogynistic".
You know, it makes me laugh right out loud that because I paint naked women I am accused of hating my own sex. Anyone who has eyes can see most of my "pin up" paintings have subjects that are less than overtly sexually attractive. Most of them were painted when I lived in Reno, Nevada as a response to the disgusting way women were pimped out in the center of an extremely male-dominated and right wing cowboy culture. The only legal brothels in the country exist in Nevada, the most famous of which, "The Bunny Ranch" is about 20 minutes from there. People tell me that my pin ups are actually hard to look at, and some people have told me that they've become physically uncomfortable looking at them. That was the whole idea.
Anyway, I'm done explaining my inspirations now. And I will continue to paint exploited women, exploited men, chicken ladies, and cocks spewing jizz on bathroom stalls in magic marker just like I did before.
