it is an odd and ill thought through, and perhaps also an oblique, complaint. the essence of it is, finley and other "feminist" artists play the victim and never the perp. which is fair, i think. on the other hand, who wants perp art? unless you consider that the entire canon is, as can be persuasively argued, perp art? as fengi has recently pointed out, by linking to an interesting piece (http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/film_salon/2010/02/24/bigelow/), which argues that that woman movie director up for the oscar this year, what's her name, is succeeding basically by being an uncle tom and making the most macho perp art.
