these christian men should stay home

The Federalist is coming for your artistic nudes. By which I mean the ones in museums.

"A number of Christian men I’ve known have expressed discomfort at viewing nudity in high art... these are honest men who care about honoring God and womanhood.

big strong christian alpha men become maude flanders after glimpsing some stone titty

They should go to an island. Far, far away.

there is plenty of immoral sex in the bible

joesimons.bsky.social•36 days ago

Absolutely fuming. Went to the art museum and there were boobs. Kids understanbly confused, crying inconsolably. My respect for women forced me to cower in a corner, vomiting in a plastic bag.
Day totally ruined.

I'm old enough to remember when we had to cover statues for the taliban

thetrin.bsky.social•36 days ago

These christian men sound like dipshits.

medusaswink.bsky.social•36 days ago

Like, i don’t care what you believe. Who am i to say you’re wrong? I’ve never died (for very long), i don’t know what else might be out there.

But why, oh why, MUST you inflict your internal existential conflict on others?

madamedefargeknits.bsky.social•36 days ago

Boobies. Heh. Heh.

hobogue.bsky.social•36 days ago

These are honorable men who hate women

dirigojoe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Someone who is this insecure about seeing nudity is 1000x more of a pervert than someone who is going to a museum just to see marble nipples.

golvio.bsky.social•36 days ago

These are likely the exact same dudes who obsessively post porn on their mains. Society should not be punished for these dudes’ failure to get over themselves and see a licensed sex therapist.

robjackel.bsky.social•36 days ago

I am confused I thought their whole thing was being horny for marble statues.

rebrafsim.bsky.social•36 days ago

but not because of this

The writer of this piece is claims to be a YA/children’s author but I can’t find a damn thing she’s published .

What's that Bible verse about what to do if your eye causes you to sin?

mjeffreson.bsky.social•36 days ago

Matthew 5:29 if people need it for actual conversation.

…and delete their internet search histories.

kokomojoe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Men?
Children.
They have a child's appreciation of art and a child's knowledge of religion.

swordsjew.bsky.social•36 days ago

and men's desire to control the bodies of women, and men's social power, so

kokomojoe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Also childish. Do what I want!

revontulet.bsky.social•36 days ago

Why do they never choose the option of ripping out their own eyes like they're biblically directed to?

dogsdadbod.bsky.social•36 days ago

Maybe have their adult sons screen their browser use

wyrdeone.bsky.social•36 days ago

Remember in the early 2000's when John Ashcroft ordered the statues of Lady Liberty covered by drapes because the nudity offended him? lol

These fuckin' people are offended about anything except their own vile nature, which is a shame because there's plenty for them to get upset about in a mirror

evavictorine.bsky.social•36 days ago

When I taught art at a theologically conservative Christian high school, I asked if I needed to censor/blur any nudes I showed in class and the admin scoffed and said, “uh, no, it’s art?”

evavictorine.bsky.social•36 days ago

Didn’t think it was possible to out-conservative the LCMS, but the Federalist Society has depths I haven’t fully mined, I suppose!

Right after taking a stroll through The Met, and taking a good, ahem, hard look at their own predilections and such… these sex pests need to stop preaching to us about their hangups.

hermietseal.bsky.social•36 days ago

Honor womanhood but fucking off, fundamentalist incel nitwits!

trinityvixen.bsky.social•36 days ago

As someone with zero artistic talent, I cannot fathom looking at statuary and painting of nudes and being anything but boggled by the talent it takes to create them. If you're getting mad or turned on by the art, er, no shame that's your kink, but leave the rest of us (and art) out of it.

trinityvixen.bsky.social•36 days ago

The Nazis are mad about vulgar art again, I see.

jenwith1n.bsky.social•36 days ago

My elementary school art teacher would put out postcards of art for us to try to replicate and when my mom was moving recently she found a very poorly painted attempt at an O’Keefe I painted in 4th grade.

daemonaac.bsky.social•36 days ago

They're entirely too delicate to be exposed to this rough and tumble world, and need to be protected. Perhaps they could live in enclosed orders, the better to be holy and in touch with their lord.

planetmarge.bsky.social•36 days ago

I'm old enough to remember when former Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered statues to be covered

jewlicious87.bsky.social•36 days ago

These Christian men should gouge their eyes out.

beastmstrgeneral.bsky.social•36 days ago

I want to find them and send them pictures of Venus de Milo like it’s Goatse

2am.coffee•36 days ago

They should gouge out their eyes like the Bible tells them to

cbl2.bsky.social•36 days ago

AG Ashcroft ordered nude and semi nude statues covered up

babshobdays.bsky.social•36 days ago

In the deep south, artists cannot display nude paintings. Or revealing ones. censorship is real. So weird.

mx-replicant.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ah the good old protestant iconoclastic impulses.

Ask the Dutch how awesome having Calvinists violently destroy their material culture was.

lauraclemens.bsky.social•36 days ago

Similar in the U.K.

It is a bit of a shock seeing surviving murals in churches for example because most were destroyed

mx-replicant.bsky.social•36 days ago

I wasn't aware of this being so wide spread. To be fair the introduction to art history I took was start of the modern era focused and my religious studies courses on Christianity were broad strokes classes.

Thanks for sharing.

lauraclemens.bsky.social•36 days ago

The reasons in the U.K. are different but not totally unrelated

So much public art destroyed which is just such a loss

jonathanbrowder.bsky.social•36 days ago

Maybe museums should make special wings with no nudity just for these men. Spaces where they can be 'safe,' as it were

ronhogan.bsky.social•36 days ago

I mean, Jesus left pretty clear instructions on what men should do if looking at nudes gave them impure thoughts.

"I'm not comfortable with society

but that's society's problem, not mine"

ok

tarnado.bsky.social•36 days ago
