Gender equality is a utopia. And not a very nice one. Because in the tiresome debate about who enjoys what privileges in society as a whole and if so, how many and why I don't, men and women like to start the same argument over and over again. It's about who has an easier life, who has better opportunities for advancement. It's about attention.

What were the times when men hunted mammoths and pulled their women by the hair in or out of their cave, most likely with an immensely powerful Fred Flintstone club in their luggage. The man built the pyramids with his bare hands, opened up the world's oceans only with a tiny compass needle, urbanized entire continents and ensured law and order in the Wild West. Piff paff. He healed the flu and the penis envy, flew to the moon and jumped back to earth with a parachute. And why all this? Because he can! And, of course, to distinguish yourself and then look for recognition in the woman's lap.
And now, thanks to feminism, all those heroic deeds are only acknowledged with a tired smile because the women have taken the scepter into their own manicured hands? Of course that's a little depressing.
One should assume that after successful emancipation, both genders have finally reconciled. But far from it: After years of insecurity due to the strengthened women, the men's world has probably taken some courage in a corresponding self-help group and is fighting back against the male-hostile excesses of the impending matriarchy. They fight against the apparent preference for women in the educational area, in education policy and in custody. But less with constructive arguments, or for my part, by pounding the fist on the table or against their now hairless chest to remind us that they invented fire, the wheel and humanism. No, they do what they do best: they whine.
For a long time, an unwritten law was in force in this country to ensure the social coexistence of men and women. Accordingly, women should accept disadvantages on the other side for all privileges that are inherent to them (breasts) (reduction to the same). However, since ardent feminists have been campaigning for their rights, for example by accusing their male boss of sexual harassment at work, men have judged themselves to be deferred. They feel that the supposedly balanced relationship between man and woman is given up by emancipation from one side.

Understandably, the men's rights movement in turn now demands equality for women in everything else that brings them disadvantages. And even if military service can only be started voluntarily by both sexes, there is still work to be done on the construction site, underground, or cleaning the city. And of course, strong and beautiful genders would have to share the bitterly contested places in the lifeboat fairly with one another or at least pee for it at the next sinking of the Titanic.There can be no winners in this more than stupid gender adjustment debate, for the simple reason that men and women are not the same. And it is the basic mistake of this discussion to want to make pears out of apples - or the other way around. In this way, men and women will continue to rub themselves off because they are too busy trying to envy each others supposed “privileges” and spreading resentment. Instead of making the best of togetherness, waking up together, for example, fathering children or listening to eight-part choratoriums.

I chose to copy this paragraph because it explains my artwork very well and my position on this subject.

My name is Maxim Fomenko, I'm a freelance artist from Nuremberg. I studied at the Nuremberg Academy of Arts, study program "Free Art“. Completed 2012 as a master student.Since then I am a successful, freelance artist. My work is in various open and private collections Europe and the USA. My art is about the artist himself, here I ask the question, how does the artist of today look like compared to the artist in the past, how has he changed in the course of art history. How much has his transformation of themes that he dealt with thousands of years ago like feminine beauty, death and Paradis changed. We remember the past epochs with beautiful female scenes of, for example, Ingris, Degas, Renoir or Matisse. Then the fright of the 20th century from Picasso, Braque and so on until today. What remains for the modern artists? Everything seems to be said, all styles and all directions are exhausted, maybe that's why the subjects have to be redefined and reinterpreted. If I may paraphrase Malewisch "it is no longer enough to create a mattress for the night of love".
