RantWhy can’t there be good art of women?
I was doing a little idle scrolling and read a blurb about a statue for the Ferry Building Plaza in San Francisco. Of a woman. And I was intrigued because the sculptor (a man) was quoted saying he chose a woman as the subject because there are very few women depicted in public art.
I clicked through and it’s going to be a 45 foot high NAKED WOMAN. La sigh. I mean, why do all the women have to be nude? The longer article explains that the artist has become prominent at Burning Man and got into the large scale there and also? So many of the women at BM were close to or fully naked and no one mentioned or noticed it.
Which, sir. That’s mentioned IN EVERY ARTICLE ABOUT BURNING MAN.
And then I flashed on the statue of Mary Wollstonecraft, which is a big hunk of metal with a tiny naked woman arising out of it.

It’s not just me, right? All over there are large statues of famous and not so famous men and they have clothes on.
But the women? GOTTA BE NAKED, even a statue about the first feminist. Ugh.
Concur. I want more male objectification. I want more Chris Evans holding a helicopter, more (fit) Thor. More male insecurity as they fall short of the standard.
Same, I want more male objectification too.
The blatant in your face objectification of Hugh Jackman in DvW was hilarious. You could hear all the het women in the theatre start screaming lmfaoooo and the look of pure unadulterated masked interest Deadpool had on was funny as hell as well
Wish I had been there for that. I did see Magic Mike in cinema with a room full of women (and maybe two guys). The atmosphere of a (nearly) women's only space was half of the fun.
I might need to see this movie now.
