Four years later the group turned their attention to the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The result was their most celebrated poster, Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? Surveying the works on display in the museum's nineteenth- and twentieth-century galleries, they tallied the number of female nudes versus the number of male nudes and counted the number of works by female artists versus the number by male artists. Their findings were startling: not even 5 percent of the artists represented in the modern galleries were women, while fully 85 percent of the nudes in those same galleries were female. The image they made to expose this discrepancy features a reproduction of the sumptuous nude in Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' La Grande Odalisque, with her face hidden by a gorilla mask, the Guerrilla Girls' signature disguise. When presented to the Public Art Fund of New York City, which had commissioned the design for a billboard, the work was rejected. The Guerrilla Girls, in retaliation, rented advertising space on New York City's public buses, where the poster's display caused a stir.
Other photos in this series feature the same boy, naked, with a pair of pliers in his mouth, standing on an empty street wearing a black hood over his head, and crouching over himself with no pants on.

It's concerning that all of these photos are gathered on Lenscratch as if they should be praised. Even weirder, though, is the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis chose to hang up a photo of someone else's daughter lying naked in a tub of water outside. Why are so many celebrities and fashion designers obsessed with art that depicts young children in strange, concerning situations?
It has been suggested that highly social mammals, such as naked mole rats and humans, are long-lived due to neoteny (the prolongation of youth). In both species, aging cannot operate as a mechanism facilitating natural selection because the pressure of this selection is strongly reduced due to 1) a specific social structure where only the "queen" and her "husband(s)" are involved in reproduction (naked mole rats) or 2) substituting fast technological progress for slow biological evolution (humans). Lists of numerous traits of youth that do not disappear with age in naked mole rats and humans are presented and discussed. A high resistance of naked mole rats to cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and brain diseases, and many infections explains why their mortality rate is very low and almost age-independent and why their lifespan is more than 30 years, versus 3 years in mice. In young humans, curves of mortality versus age start at extremely low values. However, in the elderly, human mortality strongly increases. High mortality rates in other primates are observed at much younger ages than in humans. The inhibition of the aging process in humans by specific drugs seems to be a promising approach to prolong our healthspan. This might be a way to retard aging, which is already partially accomplished via the natural physiological phenomenon neoteny. 2ff7e9595c
