I usually just stare and my screen and sputter after reading your Winger reports.<BR/><BR/>I read an article in the New Yorker at the beginning of this year (I think) about delivery room trauma, and in it the author explained that c-sections are so popular because they're easier on the physician than forceps--using forceps takes more skill.Tree of Knowledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037710157338503215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-81561209873383010932007-09-07T17:29:00.000-04:002007-09-07T17:29:00.000-04:00My husband does music history, so I know (only a b...My husband does music history, so I know (only a bit) about music: Baumeister is talking out his hat.delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-69167264993458669532007-09-07T17:23:00.000-04:002007-09-07T17:23:00.000-04:00What I would like to know, though, seriously, is h...<I>What I would like to know, though, seriously, is how tripe like this sees print.</I><BR/>Hm, what gender is in the majority on most editorial staffs? I'm sure the assertions of the article are met with a lot of "That makes perfect sense!" and "It's scientifically proven!" along with nodding of heads.<BR/><BR/>There's a local professor who knows a lot about women composers. I heard her speak a couple of years ago on religious compositions. There are quite a few beloved Christian songs (for example) that were written by women, but a lot of people don't realize it.

And there wasn't, and barely is now. <BR/><BR/>So as for women NOT being creative musically, they very well might have been, but was it allowed/encouraged to be published? dispersed? discussed? patronized?<BR/><BR/>To get to Nochlin's conclusion, she writes, <BR/>"The question "Why have there been no great women artists?" has led us to the conclusion, so far, that art is not a free, autonomous activity of a super-endowed individual, "Influenced" by previous artists, and, more vaguely and superficially, by "social forces," but rather, that the total situation of art making, both in terms of the development of the art maker and in the nature and quality of the work of art itself, occur in a social situation, are integral elements of this social structure, and are mediated and determined by specific and definable social institutions, be they art academies, systems of patronage, mythologies of the divine creator, artist as he-man or social outcast."Sugared Harpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942635623063404442noreply@blogger.com
