If you and Paul decided to bare it all - I'm afraid I'll have to leave :-)

We disagree on many issues, Paul. But you're always a gentleman. And

Wrong.
But a friend.
That's all I aspire to. Let's do a male nude pug. It would be
interesting to see who could do it justice .
LOL!
cheers,

You completely miss my point Paul.
I don't shoot nudes. Male or female. I wouldn't do the genre
justice.
Male or female.
And I wasn't complaining. I was commenting.
So far the comments to my post are about what I expected, from the
expected sources.
But I love ya, buddy!
;-)
Anyone else?
Cheers,
frank

The simple solution: shoot some male nudes and post them, I would
think
that someone who fervently believes there should be balance would
strive to make that happen rather than merely complaining . I shot
a
nude self portrait in sycamore canyon about a dozen years ago.
Hmmm.

What makes you think I haven't protested museums and galleries?
Besides, just because another venue objectifies females doesn't
mean
it should be done here.
And there are surely many reasons other than beauty to portray
the
male form. Power, athleticism, eroticism, are they not valid
reasons?
Not that I accept your statement that female forms are more
beautiful
than male. That strikes as pure opinion not backed by any facts
whatsoever. How could it be anything other than opinion?
Keep in mind that the art world, from artists to curators to
gallery
owners to purchasers is male-dominated.

Mature male bodies simply aren't as attractive as female bodies.
Art
history weighs heavily in favor of the female form. Perhaps you
should
mount a protest at the Met.

The catalyst for this little missive, I must admit, is Bruce's
recent
series of NSFW semi-nudes. That being said, it's not directed
specifically to or at Bruce. It's more a comment on the whole
female
nude thing. Others have posted similar photos in the past and
likely
will do so again.
My problem, of course, is the objectification of women. And
it's
not
because they're sexualized by showing "dirty parts". It's
because
there's such a huge disparity between male nudes and female
nudes.
