Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?

Well, do they? This is a question the Guerilla Girls ask every now and then. According to the feminist activist artists,
... in 1989, less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art sections were women, but 85% of the nudes were female,
... in 2005, less than 3% of the artists exhibited were women, but 83% of the nudes were female,
... in 2012, less than 4% of the artists in the Modern Art sectios were female, but 76% of the nudes were women (via).
