To be fair Tate grew a lot more tates.

At least potatoes are nutritious and respect women.

Like the potato, if you plant him under the ground, the world becomes a better place.

You make an excellent point. We have never buried Tate underground to test this. Maybe he can do the same as the potato.

Let's at least give him reasonable doubt and bury him. Then after 3 or 4 months we'll have our answer

potatoes are actually useful and quintessential

prostitution and sex trafficking. But besides that not much...

oh wait I forgot, he doesn't support the independence of women; just sex trafficking.

What's manosphere, precious?

allegedly

Also, idk, I think that what an ape thinks looks good has little bearing on what avians find attractive. For all we know male ducks think that bright plumage is unattractive.

Like for real, would parrots looking at us understand what we see in permanent large breasts? Or would they look at our other comically oversized sex characteristic (large, exposed penises without a baculum) as the primary showy mating display. Or would they see us as a species where sexual selection has resulted in both parties having a display to show off? Would they think that from their perspective it's obvious which looks better?

Dude I heard that joke in the 80s. There's a million variations.

That wasn't sex, it was procreation and /or failure thereof

I am pretty sure at least one of these is not in the same thread or they have been reordered

Yes. To be clear, all this makes them even stranger (and deeper in the closet?) than I previously knew.

Can't say for sure. It wouldn't change that all these people are trash. Let's see, if true it's sad that their stuck in a world that tells them it's not on to be who they are. And thus feeling like being shit stains of a human is the better than loving the right person. If false someone else is lieing, these guys are horrible people, no lies necessary.

Beefing is when you're getting fucked in the arse so hard that your partner manages to get some air up there, so you fart. Like queefing, but with none of that gay vagina stuff.

If the sex is between two men and one woman, regardless of who is penetrating who than it is 66.66% gay.

The penis thing is pretty hotly debated, but savagery comes pretty close to my understanding of the theory you mention. It's not a hugely different concept from some of the manosphere stuff you find today though.

Basically the idea was (it's theorized) that thinking with your dick leads to making hasty and bad decisions, but you want to be like the cool smart intellectual philosopher rhetorician dudes ruling society who are strong enough to control their urges. You want to be the civilized powerful master strategist, not the uncivilized weak-willed destructive glutton. So... because art needs to be about reality and be educational (there's no place for that creative abstract shit), we're going to de-emphasize the body part associated with urges that are difficult to control. These are powerful rational dudes afterall.

The biggest difference with modern manosphere bullshit is maybe the part where they shrunk the pps on the ripped marble dudes to make that point. Instead we get... social media statue and peacock "science" analogies.

If we had? We have sculptors. We have people making sculptures. You don't have to guess what they would make.. but yeah, it's bulges..

I think Nemesis is Roman, but probably a copy of a Greek statue. I might have chosen to forget because the "restoration" work on her head breaks my heart - but I know that's a common problem. Such a pity because the drapery is gorgeous.

Looking at this Diana/Artemis, who was much luckier than most statues by having her original head reattached, you can see how different it is. The proportions make much more sense.

Image text description below image:

Photo of a marble statue of Artemis (aka Diana), which lives at the Louvre. Artemis is mid-step reaching for an arrow in the quiver on her back. In her other hand she's pulling on the antlers of a small deer that she has caught. She's wearing a short and practical belted tunic (chiton) appropriate for hunting, functional sandals, and an equally pragmatic hairstyle with her wavy locks in an up-do. Her arms and legs are neither skinny nor super muscly, they're very average looking. But, being a goddess, she's got a tiara. Not an ostentatious tiara, a simple solid tiara. A utility tiara, if you will. And being a female goddess, you can still see her nips pushing on the intricate drapery of her chiton. She's clearly got some sex appeal carved in, but the statue is of a capable person who is independently getting shit done.

I love her because she basically looks like the kind of woman a modern conservative commentator would condemn for subverting gender roles. Also with a proportional head.

I wish I had both any cool ancient things and any basement to put them in. I think the oldest thing I own is maybe 100 years at best.

I think I'd be terrified to own anything much older too, conservation is hard.

I mean, that kind of makes sense. I have tried with ladies and it really doesn't feel like sex, it's not off-putting, I could do it like a performance but it's not a turn on either. I don't think experimenting means you are bi.
