Feminists have never hesitated to dissect and attack art whose misogyny offends and repulses us. But what happens when we fall in love with the work of a musician, writer, or painter we see as anti-female? Do we rationalize our cognitive dissonance away, turn our back on the offending artist, or find a way to embrace the film or story that moves us while acknowledging what disturbs us about it? How does our attraction to misogynist art complicate our relationship to both the artist and feminism itself?

These questions are at the center of “It’s Complicated,” a zine, book, and now Tumblr about feminist writers’ relationships to the misogynist art we love, edited by Judy Berman and Niina Pollari.

Follow us for updates on the project and info on our Kickstarter campaign to fund the first two zines, which will go live very soon.
