A Searching Spirit...

The searching spirit... at wisdom's shrine, Will draw pure draughts from her unfathomed well, And nurse the never-dying lamp, that burns Brighter and brighter on, as ages roll... For there is in the company of books, The living souls of the departed sage, And bard, and hero; there is in the roll Of eloquence and history, which speak The deeds of early and of better days...

~ James G. Percival, "Love of Study," c.1822

I mentioned in my art appreciation class that almost every portrayal of a woman by a male artist is the same.

Of the paintings I saw, this was no clearer than in the one pictured above: “The Barricade”

The Nazi soldiers are shadowy figures, clearly men, but there is subtle variation in them. They retain their individuality, they retain the portrayal of being human even though they have given up their humanity.

The male prisoners are humans, are people. Portrayed with different body types, expressions, experiencing different emotions- the painting focuses on the crime it is to harm these men because the painter uses them to portray humanity.

But the women... the women are passive. They are nothing more than decorations. Notice how they share the same body, their faces are hidden, they pose like they are present for a pin up. They are not allowed to show fear, to show anger, to be human.

No, in art by male artists, women exist only to be decorations, and most often women are stripped nude to be the pervert male artists personal pornography.

This is a recurring theme I noticed in all the art presented in my class- all male painters and artists, every last one of them, portrayed women as mere objects for their own pleasure. They gave the males in their art humanity, individuality, emotion. But they stripped these from women.

It’s shocking to see how this same attitude extends across society, culture, and time.

Men are people. Women are decorations at best, more often objects to be used and abused.

At what point will this change?

Art from thousands of years ago shows the same pattern. Art today is just as bad.

When will artists, those people who are often touted as being more advanced, more enlightened, when will they break free of this ancient misogyny?

i'm still going to call the art in question degenerate if it was made by a male and it's abvious that he is a degenerate ^_^

like yea i understand the whole thing with fascist-alligned people who still seethe over Duchamp's urinal...

but if i see that a male artist (derogatory) is a sex pest and a degenerate then it doesn't matter how skilled he is and how ignorant will it make me look, in my eyes he's just a degenerate, but with a paint brush in hand

society IS degenerating bc most males with access to the internet are watching pornography and the west started normalising prostitution, surrogacy (transhumanism lite) and treating women as commodities. the fact that every male with a smartphone can masturbate  to sexual torture of 18 yo girls DOES negatively affect women worldwide and its not a FaScIsT dogwhistle to point it out.

ok maybe the phrase “degenerate rt” does have strong connotations so in normie circles it’s better to just call the artist a degenerate on a personal level, not his art

Hate when art accounts post shit like this

like you can tell the original artist and the person running these blogs are men. in this case the women here has her whole ass out in both pics ( tho scribbled and cropped it out). I hate that we have to pretend that men’s misogynistic soft porn is art.

Have you ever watched music videos and noticed how men and women are often shown differently? A lot of the time, men in music videos are shown as strong, powerful, or confident—they’re focused on what they’re doing, like performing, showing off their possessions, or telling a story. Their videos usually don’t focus on how they look or their bodies in the same way that women’s videos sometimes do.

For women, it’s common for music videos to focus more on how they look—like their clothes, their bodies, or the way they move—almost as if they’re there just to be looked at instead of being seen for their talent or the message of the song. This is part of something bigger called “objectification,” where women are treated more like objects to be admired for their looks rather than full people with thoughts, ideas, and talents.

Some examples:

The Weeknd has very sexual lyrics but never portrays himself in a sexual manner visually, he has women doing that for him. This music video was released in October 2024:

Men don’t usually show themselves this way because society doesn’t expect it from them. People tend to value men for things like their skills, strength, or confidence, so they don’t feel the same pressure to focus on their appearance. Women, on the other hand, are often taught that their value comes from how they look, which is why they might feel pressure to dress or act a certain way in videos. Case in point:

Can you think of any male artists who might do this in a music video? Would it seem funny or odd to see a male artist doing this? Why is it odd for men but normal for women?

Women are just as talented, creative, and powerful as men, we don’t have to focus only on looks or sex to be seen as amazing. It’s important to notice these differences so we can choose to show the world who we really are—not just how we look. You have so much to offer beyond appearances, and you deserve to be seen for everything that makes you unique and talented, just like men are.

Y'all ever listen to a song and know you'd like it 10x better if a woman/someone with a feminine voice sang it

Male artists making art that is solely based on the humiliation and vulnerability of women is still so weird to me. Like how is your mind so shallow? ….. and how do you still manage to pass it off as something tangible and twist your sickness into something that seems like creativity?…….. How are you letting your work be carried by women’s pain and go to bed comfortably!?
