Female can't into art a very wise ancient german savant told it
"It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulses that could give the name of the fair sex to that under-sized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race; for the whole beauty of the sex is bound up with this impulse. Instead of calling them beautiful, there would be more warrant for describing women as the un-aesthetic sex. Neither for music, nor for poetry, nor for fine art, have they really and truly any sense or susceptibility; it is a mere mockery if they make a pretence of it in order to assist their endeavor to please. Hence, as a result of this, they are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything; and the reason of it seems to me to be as follows. A man tries to acquire direct mastery over things, either by understanding them, or by forcing them to do his will. But a woman is always and everywhere reduced to obtaining this mastery indirectly, namely, through a man; and whatever direct mastery she may have is entirely confined to him. And so it lies in woman's nature to look upon everything only as a means for conquering man; and if she takes an interest in anything else, it is simulated--a mere roundabout way of gaining her ends by coquetry, and feigning what she does not feel. Hence, even Rousseau declared: Women have, in general, no love for any art; they have no proper knowledge of any; and they have no genius."
_ Arthur Schopenhauer, translated by Thomas Bailey Saunders

Nepotism never produces great artists

At this point I'm surprised even 1 (one) person on /tv/ actually watches movies.
A lot, but why is this even a question when Women weren't given the same opportunities men were throughout history. Women had to use male pen names, sign male nom de plumes on paintings, etc. or else the "establishment" (or patriarchy, if you don't mind being triggered) wouldn't take them seriously. Even if they weren't made housewives, silenced, or made anonymous, women who displayed male traits were confined to nunneries, mental institutions, and in later centuries, lobotomised.
To expect them to have made the same headway as men after being sidelined in such a manner is absurd. They're barely even getting the same treatment as male artists today.
