I don't think it's outrageously wild. The majority of famous female artists are political activists, and deflecting with "Katie (example name) who painted this picture of a nice vase didn't show any hate" shows you didn't understand the article.
They're asking why female artists don't make the big bucks like Van Gogh or Monet, and the answer is, because they don't want to make art, they want to make a political statement. Emin is the best example, because she sold her "art" of used condoms and period stained underwear for two million dollars to someone ideologically aligned. (I hope. I really hope it is just that and not some art critic who thinks they can see more in it.)
The majority of male artists are also politically involved and such. That's what artists do, they are disconnected, hollier than thou cunts.
Big artists also made political points, don't pretend that is not a thing. Also, people like Van Gogh were incredibly unsuccessful durint their lifetime.
Art is a very fickle thing, it's a fact of life. You can't pretend that Emin's shit also wasn't an inner art circle money laundering thing, which, again, they do all the time, male or female. If you are in, you are in. If some fucker needs to launder money, art is the perfect thing for that.
