I think it's dog with an ulcerated eye.

discuss.

sub-question:

is gender in art really an issue? i can't think who really gives a fuck.

are we talking about an artistic glass ceiling here, bennie?

ok, let's tear it down to the bare bones

in the universe, the masculine qualities are the forceful, the aggressive, the creative
in other words, The Yang

The feminine qualities are the receptive, the passive/reactive and the nurturing, The Yin.

Neither is superior to the other. They work together in that magic circle.

A little know fact is that most of the great theramin players in the world are women. Maybe it is because the theramin is the only instrument that the player never touches, I don't know. My point is that women have every potential for expression that men do, but some arts and crafts are naturally masculine. Can you name a great woman sculptor, for example?

It's hard to even discuss this topic without being accused of sexism. I notice a conspicuous absence of some of our male member on the previous thread about this subject.....pussies.

most great sculptors: men
all great composers: men
all great musicians: men
most great singers: men
most great writers: men
most great painters: men
all great architects: men

etc, etc, etc...

i think this is MOSTLY to do with nurture rather than nature. women have had to fight for the vote never mind the right to express....

i enjoyed silvia plath.
i liked the idea of parker but didn't enjoy her writing...
i think emily dickenson was a shit writer who deserved to go unpublished in her lifetime...

however, lR, the only thera... I say the "only" theramin player I know is the dude who played it on the beach boys' good vibrations.

but take this: isn't being poetic about being receptive?

ps: never, ever, ever think that i'd accuse you of anything other than having a shite opinion.

i can't imagine you as a homophobe, sexist, racist....

i know you too well. I think!

I'm a master of the shite opinion
yes, you know me that well, bennie

let's talk about a more erotic subject
like our feminine hands....haha

stupid skinny poofy hands.

by rights I should be a concert pianist with these hands, either that or rich girls should hire me to finger their pussies until aching tears roll down their legs.

Post by **Lightning Rod** » July 25th, 2008, 10:27 pm

I can't imagine a more proper use of hands, bennie
(I don't mean the concert pianist part)

Post by **bennie2** » July 25th, 2008, 10:32 pm

nor i, i'd be happy designing buildings or pleasuring pussies... anything in between... fuck that... that's maybe why I hate "bennie the poet"

what a cunt!

I could cut your hands off
and you would still be a poet

Post by **mtmynd** » July 25th, 2008, 10:58 pm

Bennie & eLRod... you two poets are really quite cute when you get together... the cooing and giggling... remarkable! do you really PM each other secret poems as I've heard on the cyber-streets?

((i definitely will not use an emoticon anywhere on this reply!))

gender is overblown
in art and life
like false tits
it distorts the original design
makes a mockery of it

I submit that my sex
is not appeal
just happenstance
and so I make the more or less of it

It's all bogus man.

Indeed, Mousey and very well said, you hit the nail on the head totally, it does become a mockery.....

Sure, it's cute to watch B and L in their discussion, in search of something new and ponderous maybe. It always seems the same though so I click off fairly quick as their crass references disappoint me, prove to me that I carry too high an image of them and their talents......best to stick to their creatives......where I can be happily fooled

this is the reason that the fairer sex just doesn't get humor

can a chip on the shoulder be feminine? Who knows?
