...but the human male form is not the most attractive thing in creation. Our bodies were not designed with aesthetics in mind. A penis is not a beautiful appendage, it’s a silly floppy toy.Which is just one of many times I have seen a similar sentiment stated. Ironically, this was in a post about a life drawing class where the entire point is to find the aesthetics of the person you are attempting to capture. If you can't do that, then you either have very unconsidered notions of gender and the human form, or some enormous backlog of fucked up shit involving gender.* Either way, it is not good.
Which brings me to my point: women are ugly. That's just a fact, women are an ugly, ugly gender. And I shall go into great detail as to why.
Let's start with breasts. Sticking two lumps of fat onto a human's chest is just not visually appealing. No one thinks goiters or tumors are attractive, and the same holds true for breasts. Two bulbous mounds hanging around, flopping back and forth lack any sense of grace or beauty that could characterize the human form. And let's spend a moment talking about women's giant nipples. Having huge, clownish discolorations hanging at the end of those protrusions just makes the whole thing that much more ridiculous and disgusting. Nipples on men might serve no purpose, but at least they are small, discrete and do not deviate from the clean lines of the male body.
Moving down, I do not think there is anything that could be considered more bizarre and unattractive than a woman's vulva. It looks like a plate of spaghetti thrown into the trash. First off, there is no way to gussy up that it is basically a giant gash just sitting between the legs. And then there is all sorts of decoration thrown together in a haphazard and pointless way. Mounds of fat, weird lines of tissue sticking every why, round objects just plopped down on it. And it is all covered in a thick layer of hair which looks gross, until you take it off and realize what the hair is covering is even more gross. There's a reason that vaginal plastic surgery is a billion dollar industry, but there are not enough doctors in the world to make that hot mess look anywhere close to the clean, simple beauty of male genitalia.
So now, maybe in the future we can abandon this notion that one gender is more beautiful than the other and move past our messed up notions of gender.
*This is actually the product of a couple centuries of sexism. Women were sexual objects, not sexual beings. They were lusted after, not lustful beings. And if they were lustful beings it was considered a psychological disorder. This was all in an effort to control women, as controlling their sexuality was a key element of controlling their being. That is why women were expected to be somehow able to control men's insatiable lusts, often by covering their forms completely, and why they bore the blame for unrequested sexual contact. The end result of this was that it was considered intolerable for men to be viewed as sexual objects, that was feminizing, and as centuries of history have taught us, being feminized is the worst thing that can happen to a man. This has been modulated somewhat as our modern culture progresses, but you can still see it every time you turn on a TV and watch the prevalence of the male gaze, and the (relative) lack of a female gaze.
