ok i know this is a weird topic to talk about. I am in art class right now and arguments have been going on and on and on about this topic. I just want to get different views. Lets now screw this up and act all silly and everything please.

Being an artist, I see it from this perspective. The male and female bodies each represent something different. The male body represents physical strength, physical power, and physical security. The female body represents spiritual strength, spiritual power, and spiritual security and beauty. Most would want to paint a female body because it is not so solid, but more with a flow like water. Male bodies are very square and lined. So I think all us ladies so take that as a compliment...unless it's porn...then it's just degrating. LoL.
It's all in symbolism! |
