“Only Women Bleed”


From the CBC:

One of the judges of Australia’s top religious art competition has resigned in vehement objection to a work that has been included in the finalists’ short list. Australian art critic and historian Christopher Allen resigned from the panel of judges after Adam Cullen’s triptych Corpus Christi made the short list for the $20,000 Blake Prize for Religious Art. Corpus Christi depicts Jesus on the cross with the inscription, “Only women bleed,” a line from a song by rocker Alice Cooper.

No offense, but the statement at issue seems more pro-woman than anti. Simply put, in Nietzschean terms, this would make women “human, all too human.” Why not go with Cooper’s “The One That Got Away,” “Your Feminine Side,” or better yet, “Killed By Love”?
