Women want their love to be reciprocated in the same way they give it; they want their romantic lives to be as rewarding as they make them for their potential mates; they want the emotions that they turn on full blast to be met with the same intensity; and they expect the premium they put on commitment to be equally adhered to, valued, and respected.

Contemporary art is based on that an artist is supposed to go into art history in the same way as an art historian.

It is emotional and not art criticism or history of art.
