offensive or not, im not sure i would ever want to or try to control the content of art. No matter what it is, or how it is painted, because....its a more honest reflection of psyche, its a good portrait of humanity, its safe on a canvas, let it happen.

im in theory and we're talking about feminism and the exploitation(or lack of) of their bodies. I'm looking at bathing suits...ha. you can love women naked, its not crazy.
Maybe at one point fashion was demeaning, and it certainly was confining, but now, it has either had the effect of the female "buying into" the idea or it has been embraced and become a flag, and empowerment. Sex was once taboo for women, sex is now a tool. Not to say that it cant be abused..but hay....the less its feared, the less impact it has.
Anything we see on a canvas isnt anything we havent imagined.
be honest.
Are male nudes more offensive than female?
depends on who you're talking to.

i love social nuance. hmmm
