A different look on feminism

When I think of feminism I think of bra burning and hairy hippies, though the truth is feminism is far from that. Its more about equality for women and the end to primitive views and laws that belittle women universally.

A group of woman calling themselves 'The Guerrilla Girls,' were a group of radical feminist artists who established themselves in 1985 New York. Disguised as guerrillas they managed to remain anonymous. These women weren't stupid they where lawyers, accountants, business woman. They targeted the prejudices women faced in the art world regarding the lack of female artists work present in galleries in New York and America. They did this by designing catchy posters covered with facts and statistics regarding the matter such as,

'Less than 5% of the artists in the Met's modern art sections were women, but 85% of the nudes were female.'

These posters where spread all across New York, on buses, on billboards and even in galleries. The Guerrilla girls wanted to provoke thought in people and inevitably create change. They did this is in a clever manner using sharp and tact full facts that would be recognised in a male dominant world.

Below I have posted a video that I once saw of the 'Ali G,' (Sacha Baron Cohen) conducting an interview with a feminist, this cracked up. It also put forth some off the chauvinistic (in this case exaggerated) views that men can have too and about women.
