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.
