boobsploitation
So i never understood the fuzz about choosing boobs as a motif. Nude bodies have always been part of art. Also boobs are a thankful motif, as they keep one motivated to continue and finish a picture. Actually i adore and worship the female body. For me, nothing does feel wrong about that. But i somehow feel like there's a lot of mental masturbation going on. So feel free to bring your arguments against boobs forward. Maybe some nice drama will develop from that!
And yes, of course i'll continue drawing boobs, don't bother :-) |

Quoting TheRykright, females are much better in at least pretending trying to understand any explanations about our obsession And this comes across a bit sexist. I still maintain that intelligent women exist who can follow my - granted, generalized - statements about this topic. And yes, i do not burst out with that topic right away and to any random person i meet, often there are other worthwhile topics to discuss. |

which doesnt invalidate what ryk said at all.
how is "women are better at XY than men" sexist? afaik there are even a bunch of studies that show women actually being better suited for this whole communication business - and that includes what ryk said ofcourse :) |

I meant the "trying to understand" part (which implies not understanding), not the better-at-pretending part, otherwise i'd have quoted you as well. |

pffff. they didnt even make a website showing your photo and some hilarious truth about yourself? not even a little fan video ? lame :)
Quote:Most females i showed demos to reacted rather positive and mildly interested in my explanations about demos, their creation, their makers and the parties.
that said, most people who i tell what i am doing in my spare time are trying to be polite and not burst out in laughter. the only thing noteable about women there is, they are better at it, or perhaps men just dont care enough.
Nobody did fan video for me :-( but I had few attempts on impersonation. ;-) |

when it comes to using C64 in 2014, the "not understanding" part is NOT limited to women. really. :=) |

Of course not. But phrased as it was, it sounded to me like a gross generalization that no woman would understand. But let's just say it was a misunderstanding. |

Anyhow, what do those people, regardless of their gender, not understand? That a bunch of people would pursue some special interest?
I thought that the internet, which everybody and their dog use these days, has shown that most people are nerds in one field or another. And that is not limited to car engines, food supplements or the random teenage girl watching a vampire-themed film in a cinema complaining that "this was not in the book".
Try not to burst out in laughter? About what, exactly? |

@Krill:
You are right in saying, any general statement about women or men _can_ already be the beginning of sexism, even if positive discrimination. I see pretending trying to understand as a skill, which I experienced(!) to find more often in women. I try to develop that skill, too, but sometimes lack patience. For sure, there are women who really understand as well as guys who do not even care trying. And for sure there are women who could give me or other males a lesson in coding or whatsover allegedly male domain.
About not understanding:
If people talk about facebook etc. I do not even try very hard to understand but just frown at them, so I have no problems with people immune to my 8bit enthusiasm :) |

i seriously envy anyone who is unable to answer that question for himself and i will not do that for you because you'll prefer finding it out yourself - in a far distant future. |
