"Women Are More Beautiful Than Men" = Sexism

[Smacktalk73Participant 296]

“All women are beautiful.” I’ve seen this rallying cry over and over again, seeking fair treatment of women. Here’s a challenge for you: Try saying “All men are beautiful. Just as beautiful as all women.” That is true equality.

This film, “A Single Man” is about a gay man in the 60s. It treats the male body as an erotic, beautiful instrument, attractive simply for existing, not because it is functional. And as a straight male, it blew my mind, because I realized that this idea is completely ignored by any heterosexual-oriented storytelling.

Watch this movie. I found it incredibly eye-opening. And this morning as I walked among everyday people I was blown away at how non-beautiful the modern, heterosexual male is expected to be. Completely de-eroticized. Hair clipped short and functional; facial hair completely shaved; modular, functional clothing emphasizing functional muscles and concealing and de-emphasizing the sex organs.

Why are males not as beautiful as females? Why is male beauty not just ignored, but actually mocked as “gay”?

I have two young boys and they are beautiful. But as soon as they hit puberty, and the question of beauty becomes somewhat sexual, they are NOT going to be beautiful, at all. When heterosexual sex enters the picture, male beauty is completely abandoned. Females are the only things allowed to be “beautiful.” And the idea is so ubiquitous that you don’t even notice it.

In modern traditional visual media, male sexual organs are humorous; male nudity is either funny or profane. Any attempt to eroticize and make beautiful the male body is considered homosexual. Why?

“All women are beautiful.”

Consider the source.

"It seems like there's times a body gets struck down so low, there ain't a power on earth that can ever bring him up again. Seems like something inside dies so he don't even want to get up again. But he does."

I may be off track here but work with me.

Men are visually oriented.  Women may be also but who f~~~ing cares?  We’re talking about man stuff here.  Anyway, we have to ask ourselves, who would want to see visual representations of male form that emphasized its beauty.  Women and homosexual men.

Okay why are heterosexual men not at least able to look at the male form and say, “that’s a good looking guy”?  I think for a couple of reasons

Despite today’s modern attitudes about male sexuality, for the most part we are still brought up and instilled with the fear of being homosexual.  “Are you gay or something?”  “That’s gay.” “That dude is so gay.”  So you can see that even with humor among males, there is passing ridicule that questions your sexual orientation.  I have a fifteen year old son.  I can honestly say that he is a good looking kid.  Not because he is mine but that’s just a fact.  He’s going to be sixteen soon.  He is tall, muscular, ruggedly good looking face, dark brown eyes, thick brown hair and has an infectious smile.  He doesn’t have a girlfriend or date at all.  Not because he is gay, but because he finds the bulls~~~ from girls his age to be annoying.

It’s perfectly okay to say this about my son.  But if I were to say the same thing about a juvenile male that is not family, then I am a pedophile.  If I say the same thing about another adult male, then I am gay.  If you discount this then the next time you are in a coffee shop then make a passing comment to another dude about how a man in line for coffee is good looking.

Another reason I believe is accurate is that appreciation for the male form in heterosexual men is not inherently male in appearance.  By this I mean, if you were at an art exhibit with with a woman or several women, in which there was sculptures of naked men, it would be legitimate to comment about style, technique, who the artist was, and how well the form was captured.  But if you say that it is beautiful in front of bunch of women then may (or may not) be doubts about your masculinity by the other women.  More fear, but it stems from the concern from having access (intimacy) with one or more of them.  Despite today’s attitudes, we (men in general) are still concerned with how we are perceived by women.  If you doubt this, then see all previous discussions about women f~~~ing the alphas and cuckolding the betas.

In answer to your question, the best answer overall is fear.

But personally, I’m starting to not give a s~~~.  I have all of you to thank for that.

Soldier-Medic, absolutely I agree with you about the “fear” issue.  And it astonishes me that it took me until I am 42 to be able to say “I can say a male body is beautiful without having to suddenly be gay, and not have access to women.”

Really, that’s the bottom line – I’m afraid that if I point out male beauty, I will somehow lose the chance to f~~~ women.  Female sexuality, and the limitation of the supply therof, chokes males into abandoning their own beauty and putting women on a pedestal, in exchange for access to sex.

Women have choked men in to abandoning everything they have, including our own dignity, in exchange for JUST the idea of sex.

I worked with an oil field based trucking outfit. Stereotypically manly men. One morning before work started there were a few of the guys hanging in the coffee room. Someone was wearing some nice smelling aftershave or deodorant. I made the comment that someone smelled nice. The ridicule then began and as mentioned the gay innuendo also. Someone felt “threatened.” The next time in the coffee room I said “Holy s~~~ someone smells like a dead cat.” There were chuckles and comments on how that was a more appropriate phrase.

There was a line and a song from Bambi “If you can’t say something nice, shush, say nothing.” Seems complimenting or saying something nice or positive these days brings ridicule, threats of harassment, shaming.

I can’t recall the actors name right now but I find him handsome. He has a deep voice, handle bar moustache, does the voice in Dodge truck commercials. I’ve seen him in a few westerns. He was in the movie “Roadhouse”. Do I want to pack his fudge or blow him? Not a f~~~ing chance. I probably wouldn’t cross the street to see him in person.

I think a new born calf or colt is cute, so is a puppy or kitten. I’ve slept with my parents two poodles. Does that make me into bestiality? I think not.

I just remembered his name. Sam Elliot. Total partial recall. : )

Only a male intellect clouded by the sexual drive could call the stunted, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped and short-legged sex the fair sex: for it is with this drive that all its beauty is bound up.

 

More fittingly than the fair sex, women could be called the unaesthetic sex.
