There are plenty of nude male subjects in art, I know I've studied a shit load of them. It all depends on the artist's personal opinion of which subject is more in their interest, or they find pleasing to paint. Of course, personally I find the female body more pleasing to the eye, because of the way the curves are placed, and it's a much softer figure. However, I don't mind seeing the chiseled figure of a nude male in a painting once in a while either. Basically, there's no discrimination in art subject matter, because it's like asking "Why would people rather paint flowers than dust bunnies?"

Sexisism is a function of stereotyping and discrimination. The choice of subject matter is not inherently sexist. |
