Words fail me. The piece starts:
A woman performance artist who exposes herself in museums is to be prosecuted for exhibitionism after baring her genitals in front of the Mona Lisa in Paris, her lawyer said Thursday.
Deborah de Robertis spread her bare legs before Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece on Sunday in the Louvre museum, shouting ‘Mona Lisa, my pussy, my copyright’ as several dozen tourists looked on. ‘The goal was not to exhibit my genitals,’ the 33-year-old said, ‘but to copy a famous photograph by Valie Export’ – an Austrian performance artist known for her sexually provocative acts during the 1970s. ‘My message is to question the place of women artists in the history of art. That’s why it’s necessary to do my performances in museums,’ said Robertis, who has dual French and Luxembourg nationality.

Has this exhibitionistic woman objectified herself?
Could be.

Undoubtedly. Narcissistic Personality Disorder masquerading as art.

Don’t be so mancrass. It’s only objectification if some man the woman does not femlust after obtains some himpleasure from her display but, be honest, whom among us could possibly manjoy that thing?

She was objectified against her will by the male gaze, while enlightening non-men about the artistic merits of the female genitalia. It is a terrible sacrifice but what can you do under patriarchy?

‘She was objectified against her will by the male gaze … ‘
Can’t you see that you’re denying her agency and so making her a puppet of male domination? She bravely stepped up and stripped off but because the gallery was a friendless, and not les friendly, unsafe space it was filled with creeps concealing their genital inadequacy with leering and jeering.
As Marx should have said: all male comment is rape.
By the way, I’m off to a MiliFem rally next week and hope to pull something, anything. What sort of servile, snivellingly apologetic comments should I make for being male, if I want any of the female things there to speak to me?

That looks a little extreme, however, if I have to go to those lengths to get a revoltingly ugly woman with a socially destructive mental illness to talk to me I will. Thanks for the tip.

Link to Roger Scruton’s excellent television broadcast about beauty. Sir Scruton attacks degenerate art and offers us good arguments in defence of traditional forms of art. Many examples from architecture in this programme, but Sir Scruton’s argument applies across aesthetics as a whole.

Well it’s one way to get the kids interested in art I suppose. Really though, if exposing herself to strangers is her kink, they have swinger clubs for that now. She can use Google to find a willing audience, instead of, um, thrusting herself upon others. Incidentally, am I the only one who wonders how much more harshly a male “performance artist” would be treated if he went around waggling his junk at crowds of people in public?

And improve their bowling when the nets are busy.

While not a member of the swinging community I feel certain that your remark is bound to cause grave offence, and not just to swingers but to exhibitionists as well, for the two are not the same nor synonymous. In this enlightened age such outbursts really are not at all acceptable, not at all.
‘She can use Google to find a willing audience, instead of, um, thrusting herself upon others.‘
I think you’ve inadvertently hit upon the nub of the problem: lacking the necessary kit, she cannot thrust herself upon others and so resents those who can.
‘Incidentally, am I the only one who wonders how much more harshly a male “performance artist” would be treated if he went around waggling his junk at crowds of people in public?‘
If you actually mean ‘wonders’ instead of knows then I think you could be. I suspect that most of us know how much more harshly a man would be treated were he to do what she did and does.
