How come women are still considered the epitome of beauty almost universally? You would think that with the sexual revolution in the '60s, Men would openly embrace Apollo and not some Muse, just like Whitman did, but in art, literature and even movies, the male beauty hasn't been rediscovered. How so?

>> No.14688120

Even in antiquity when people venerated male beauty it was usually in pretty gay ways, like some 40yo emperor being really into his 16yo Alexander-lookalike twink boyfriend who was a mincing effeminate queer. True male appreciation of masculinity is rare.

Because society is engineered from the top down. Men are intentionally kept with low self-esteem to make them compliant and docile. The last thing the ruling class wants is strong-willed men leading family and clans. Because those men and their clans won't be willing slaves.

>Only a male intellect clouded by the sexual drive could call the stunted, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped and short-legged sex the fair sex: for it is with this drive that all its beauty is bound up. More fittingly than the fair sex, women could be called the unaesthetic sex.

I believe for certain reasons in the last century there has been a systematic attack on masculinity from the intellectual class. This has affected masculinity all aspects, including aesthetics. Though aesthetics is one of the last things in this regard that should concern us.

You don't have to feel ashamed about being gay anon. But if you're more attracted to men than you are to women you're essentially bi or gay. That "not in a sexual way" nonsense is just cope. If you just like the human form you can admire a well-toned woman just as much as a man.
