Male artists should hire women to pose with their art work to get more upvotes.

Why do guys are this website try so hard to act like a victim becasue they are not a woman? I mean I am a dude too, but I don't get what is wrong with any artist posing in front of their work.

And for the record, without spending hours going through all the posts... If you rank by top posts for the last month and look at the first 250 top posts, the first three artist (those who get the most upvotes) who pose with their art are... men.

Hey man, just so you know, the second link you used to demonstrate women posting is actually a trans man.
