Makes perfect sense to ME!
Prejudice according to whom? The unelected mainstream media? Did We The People vote on this and I somehow missed it? How do we know this isn’t driven by fear, hatred, and/or intolerance of the opposite sex?
I think that it’s perfectly understandable to like women, admire women, think some are beautiful and, as a woman, to have crushes on them. That’s all they are–crushes. Women are capable of becoming very close to other women–but it’s not sexual. Women pour out their hearts to other women–men don’t do that with other men–they just do stuff with their male friends. I think that homosexuality is hard-wired, especially for men. Gays have said time and time again that they knew they were different from the time they were very young. For women, some are hard-wired–I think the minority–, others come to it after a failed marriage, maybe because they were gay. Hard to know. and no one really wants to find out–for one thing, it’s too hard. The areas of the brain involved in sexual identity are ancient and buried deep, hard to isolate and study.
It’s because secular guys are such loosers and secular society has taught them not consider men of faith.
**Romans 1:22-27 **Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
In a sense yes, contraceptives de-sacramentalize sex by removing the life giving aspect. Once you remove that for hetro-sex, then one starts wondering… How is homo-sex any different?
Have you ever noticed that artists are more likely to have an image of a nude female than a male?
There have only been few male nude images that were well received (David, by Michelangelo being one of them)
Well, as a guy, saying this isn’t really that odd, but, women are without a doubt much, much more beautiful than men. Guys usually have a very rough look to them, while girls always have a sleeker and smoother appearance, if that makes any sense.Have you ever noticed that artists are more likely to have an image of a nude female than a male?
Males look pretty… um… Odd when they are nude and not doing something that could be considered pornographic.

Artists are more likely to draw nude women because historically more artists have been male.
I don’t think it’s odd, it’s very attractive.It is called feminism.
No. Feminism is actually a violent reaction to the above situation. It is a reaction from very angry and frustrated women that push them the opposite direction from what I described, and many feel it is their job to wage war on the men that they feel caused all of this. Just another way that women are bieng attacked, and another way that Satan is winning the battle.
Well, of course… it’s what I said!
Yeah… but… in the nude???Artists are more likely to draw nude women because historically more artists have been male.
I love the way men look
It bothers me as well. But, lesbian feminism has always been within the feminist movement. The emphasis on lesbianism was just not as emphasized because the political aspect of equality was paramount for all of us. When that was accomplished, the rest followed…one of which is secular acceptance of the alternative lifestyle and woe to the voice that was contrary or critical because that would fall foul of “sisterhood”.
See, I have to disagree on this point. I mean, I see women naked all the time in the changing room at the gym. I see a naked woman all the time when I change. I have to be honest, I’d much rather look at my husband in the nude. IMHO (and it’s probably biased due to being madly and unapologetically in love with him) there is nothing that looks as good to me as my husband. Clothed or otherwise. When women are nude it’s just like “meh…” but when hubby is, it’s definatly NOT “meh…” hehYeah… but… in the nude???
Have you seen a nude male?
I mean, really… a woman nude has an appearance that’s almost … lyrical
But a man nude? He has Mode A and Mode B… and one of them looks good nude… Powerful and Virile and Strong… and the other one looks… well… not.
We’re not saying that men are unattractive, but for appearance’s sake, women have an appearance that is more satisfying visually than does a man.
But as the human goes, the woman is SUPPOSED to look good to attract the woman, while the man is supposed to look strong and powerful and virile to attract the woman.
(Um… Moderators: you don’t have to worry. I’m quitting <>)
That is so sweeeeet! As much as I love my husband, I think I’d go blind if I looked at him without clothes on. He’s nearly 80. And, the funny thing is that…it’s mutual!!!
What a powerful writing, and complete analysis of the situation as it is. Thanks so much for posting this.
As an artist myself, I’ll tell you the answer to that one - there are a lot more women than men who are both willing and able to stand there with no clothes on, without moving, for up to three hours, for $12.00 an hour. Of course, there are also a few men who can do this, and are willing to do it, so it’s not a completely barren wasteland, but the majority of people on the list of nude models-for-hire are women - mostly Moms who just want to make a bit of spending money on the side.Have you ever noticed that artists are more likely to have an image of a nude female than a male?
As far as what gets into the art history books, that’s a fair point, but I’ve got several sketchbooks full of male nudes that look pretty good, if I do say so myself. (Mostly all the same three guys, unfortunately.)
