My honest and 'serious' take on that:
Crafting a performance piece around the concept of a public blowjob does come with built in social commentary (gender, sexual, voyeurism, you name it), albeit it all pedestrian and painfully obvious. It isn't too difficult scare up some commentary on what it means to be a woman publicly blowing a microphone and what that says about blowjobs in general, equal rights, male voyeurism, and snarky combat-grrl aesthetics. While the artist does have a point in her performance just by the sheer nature of it, it's a sad one in that sort of 'freshman art student' way, and it's very off-the-shelf. The most frightening irony is that I ultimately want to pat her on that and reassure her that her technique will improve with practice.
