Brown University played host Wednesday evening to a stimulating, er, performance by a member of the feminist activist group known as the Guerrilla Girls.
According to their website, the Guerrilla Girls wear gorilla masks in public and use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose gender and ethnic bias as well as corruption in politics, art, film, and pop culture.
The Brown Daily Herald reports Guerrilla Girl Frida Kahlo got laughter and applause from the crowd as she walked up and down the aisles of Salomon Hall handing out bananas. (Bananas? Uh oh hopefully none were given to African-American students.)

Was Mattress Girl in the audience?
Or maybe she’s already hired as a Technical Advisor.

“white male bias in the art world”
Sounds a little anti-Semitic, also a little homophobic.

Guerrilla and Gorilla are not the same thing, but I guess that's besides the point.

Not feminist enough to ditch their handbags in favor of pants with pockets.

They are obviously playing with the pun.
That’s apparently the only thing vaguely clever about this, however.

Moo-schell, is that you?
Barely recognize you without the White Hut behind you!

Any bias ion the art world is a function of the market. Female artists don’t sell as much as their male counterparts and thus don’t get so much attention. Female artists are less likely to be considered serious artists by art buyers and investors. That is “sexist,” I suppose, but it is not something one can change with monkey masks.

Rembrandt was not as good as his aunt. Cezanne was a con man, van Gogh a schmoe!

Has the Simian-American community raised their voice about this cultural appropriation yet? These women are clearly insensitive to the feelings of Simian-Americans and I find their mocking of the SA appearances be be appalling. The SA Community must be highly offended by this thoughtlessness.
To: Responsibility2nd
Species appropriation.

They keep men out of plenty of things and feel totally fine about that.

I’m guessing their appearances are improved by the masks.
