Glad I could make someone happy. I myself have something to share on the subject of the man-haters. Last year I was in my 2nd period class, and I drew and colored in
this artwork. Now we went off to break and I found the drawing turned over. I asked about it, and it was turned over because the teacher found it offensive (which I understood, and wasn't angry about) Then the girl in my group who was asked to turn it over starts ranting at me about how "it's immoral, it's not talent, and it's not art." That third statement enraged me because I don't think any one person has the right to say whether something is or isn't art, and then she made a very insulting remark that the drawing is all I see when I think about women. She was caught up in her own hatred of the opposite sex that it didn't matter to her that she was wrong.
In what way was she wrong?
You've drawn a piece that is very clearly objectifying women by over exaggerating feminine/sexual features/proportions. She called it 'immoral', well, seeing as what's good moral behavior and what's immoral is rather subjective I can't say she's wrong. She said it's not 'talent', from a technical view point she's right. She said it's not 'art', if art is something that is appreciated for it's beauty of emotional power then art is rather subjective as well, she can say it's not art, and you can say it is, neither of you are right and neither or you are wrong.
She might have been wrong about saying that you see all women as sexual objects, but let's face it, you just went out of your way to draw 'half-naked Morgen' and you're an 18yr old male, I would be pretty surprised if you're not thinking with your dick 24/7.
So yeah, I doubt she was 'man-hating', and I find it more likely that she just didn't like seeing a drawing of an an over sexualised/objectified woman. You may not have meant anything by it, but unfortunately you don't get to choose who gets offended by things.
