 Ghost Clock
 1985
 bleached Honduras mahogany and stain
 Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum purchase through the Smithsonian Institution
 Collections Acquisition Program, 1989.68
 At first glance, Ghost Clock appears to be a grandfather clock hidden by a large white
 sheet tied with a rope. A closer look, however, reveals a masterful deception: this
 entire sculpture was hand-carved from a single block of laminated mahogany. With
 meticulous detail, Castle re-created in wood the contours of soft, supple cloth, then
 completed the illusion by bleaching the "drapery" white and staining the base of the
 "clock" a walnut brown. This work is the last in a series of thirteen clocks the artist
 created in the 1980s; unlike the others, it lacks an inner mechanism. Its haunting
 stillness and silence suggest eternity-the absence of time.

Itā€™s one of my favorite pieces at the Renwick. Itā€™s a solid block of mahogany and you can see the impression of knobs under the cloth.

WHAT HTE FCUK

Itā€™s one of my favorite pieces at the Renwick. Itā€™s a solid block of mahogany and you can see the impression of knobs under the cloth.

 Well, this just happened.
 Milo Manara, master artist and storyteller, came in at the last ten minutes of
 my Art and Women panel and handed me a special gift in appreciation for
 fighting censorship- an original watercolor painting of Spider-Woman. The
 packed auditorium went wild.
 Wow. I'm just speechless

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

Thatā€™s basically a naked woman Iā€™m YELLING

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

Itā€™s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into ā€œsexyā€ poses. Or how women in comics walk like theyā€™re in high heels even barefoot.Ā 
Itā€™s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think ofĀ ā€œwomenā€ as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroesā€™ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for.Ā 

Iā€™m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You canā€™t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters.Ā 

Come on, letā€™s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

Weā€™re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention youā€™re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional charactersā€™ clothing is asinine.Ā 
What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I donā€™t think you do.
This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see howĀ ā€œempoweringā€ andĀ ā€œstrongā€ it actually looks:Ā 
Also:Ā 

He got the painting for fighting against ā€˜censorship.ā€™ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They donā€™t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.


You can see her butthole for chrissakes

I think the best imagery Iā€™ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.
Hugh Jackman on a menā€™s magazine. Heā€™s shirtless and buff and angry. Heā€™s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, itā€™s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.
Hugh Jackman on a womenā€™s magazine.Ā  He looks like a dad. He looks like heā€™s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.
Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.
Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE. 

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

bro you can literally see every fold of her pussy that just isnā€™t how fabric works

LolĀ body painting literally


Clothes donā€™t suction themselves around tiddies.If that was the case Iā€™d be wearing hoodies all year

i mean there is dangerous objectification for male characters, but itā€™s not prevalent in written or drawn sources because that doesnā€™t harm the person and therefore isnā€™t relevant. itā€™s only something to bring into the conversation when youā€™re talking about how it affects the actors.male actors are sometimes forced to starve for days so that they can get scenes where their muscles are stood out (thereā€™s a really good post with article links about this iā€™ll try to find it), but these drawings donā€™t affect an actual personitā€™s a completely different subjectand i mean for godā€™s sake you canā€™t counter the fact that someone deliberately drew her with her coochie out with some bullshit about how male characters are hyper-masculine in a glorified way

    Impression: Me [25F] with my boyfriend [25M] of seven months. He has VERY bizarre opinions
 and I want help understanding him, and getting him to understand how others see
 him Relationships
 submitted 7 hours ago by throwaway47273747483
 have been with my boyfriend, Henry, for around 7 months now, and he's an amazing guy etc.
 I really see this developing into a long and very serious relationship. There are no big
 problems or red flags.
 One thing that gets me though, are his political opinions. They are esoteric, somewhat
 incomprehensible, and frankly, bizarre. He is an ardent monarchist (we are in the UK) but not
 in the typical use of the word (ie liking the Queen being an impartial head of state), he literally
 believes in the divine right of kings and that it is the only natural form of government. He
 claims to recognise no monarch since James ll, and apparently the real legitimate successor
 is some guy called Francis who I've never heard of, who is also supposedly the rightful king of
 France and Greece. He never votes, saying he has no desire to assist his monarch in their
 choice of servants (which is technically how the UK government works, the Queen "chooses"
 whoever wins the election). He expressed disgust at Prince Harry's recent engagement, I
 pressed him as to why (I was slightly worried it was racist in nature) and he said both Meghan
 Markle and Kate Middleton are commoners who have no business marrying royalty, then made
 some remark about the Royal Family being a "ghastly bunch of arriviste Germans anyway, so I
 suppose it doesn't matter". It's just strange. It's like his worldview is so odd and so far removed
 from anything I can even begin to understand. I can name the current major Royals and a few
 of the more important historical ones, whereas he is an absolute expert.
 He will passionately debate anyone who wants to, though again it just makes him look strange.
 Friends at dinner will be discussing normal, contemporary political issues, and he will interject
 and go on some tangent about how this all relates to "King John's submission to Papal
 authority in 1213". He does seem to genuinely believe this stuff, but it gives an odd impression
 to those around us. No one can really reply beecause they don't know what he's talking about
 so he definitely gets the feeling he's winning these debates (he's far too well-mannered to be
 rude about it, but it's certainly an unspoken truth in his view)

    Impression: The "I'm Not Angry" Mark
 Usage:
 When you need to be brief,
 but you're not angry
 Example
 We need to talk
 The Sinceriod
 Usage
 When you want to break out of your
 cycnical shell and be truly honest
 with someone.
 Example:
 Oh, wow, Thank you, This sweater
 is just what I wanted
 Sarcastises
 Usage
 The opposite of the sinceriod. Use when
 you want to be sarcastic, but in a way
 that's totally different and better from
 whatever system you're using now.
 Example:
 Oh, wow. Thank you. This sweater is
 just what I wanted.
 Hemi-Demi-Semi Colon
 Usage:
 If you don't know when it's appropriate to use a
 semi-colon, and you're too lazy to learn, you can use
 this in place of commas, semi-colons, and periods.
 Pretty much wherever you feel like it
 Eхample:
 Now I can act superior and avoid learning anything
 I'm a stain on humanity
 Andorpersand
 Usage:
 One simple symbol for "and/or"
 Example:
 Some people hate the very
 existence of the phrase "and/or, "
 but these people are uptight &o
 stupid
 Mockwotation Marks
 Usage:
 For quoting something that someone
 didn't say, but totally would say with the
 way they're being right now. The written
 equivalent of doing an impression of
 someone by saying "Look at me, I'm
 so-and-so" and wiggling your hands by
 your head, and speaking in a high-pitched
 voice.
 I'm Stacey. I'm going to complain about
 being hungry but not offer any suggestions
 of my own, said Stacey.
 Collegelf
 Superellipsis
 Usage:
 For an extreme dramatic pause. When you want the reader to
 wait a good 20 seconds before reading the next part of the
 sentence. Maybe even imagine the lights flickering and some
 thunder crashing.
 Example:
 He paused, cautiously, as he approached the superellipsis. On
 the other side he found... more words!
 Collegelm
 Morgan Freemark
 Usage:
 Reminds readers that they can read words in
 any voice they want, so maybe they should
 read these words in Morgan Freeman's voice.
 Example:
 And so, Kevin took this big swig of vodka
 and straight-up ran head-first into the wall
 you should probably go to TheMetaPicture.com

Shae Scott:Ā ā€œThis is why I donā€™t date ugly guys..ā€

Iā€™ve dated an ugly guy before and he was just a WASTE of my time. He didnā€™t get cocky, but he shouldā€™ve been a lil more appreciative of me. Seeing that no other girl would even look at him before I did. 

Holy fuck yā€™all are conceited. Those men are dodging bullets.



Hey, my boyfriend may not be conventionally attractive or the most attractive in the world but itā€™s almost as if when your personalities really click they become so attractive to you! But obviously, yall canā€™t do that as you need a personality to begin with.
This bitch fully is under the impression that she should date an attractive boring guy rather than an ugly boring guy, as if looks are the only defining things in relationships. How about, date an ugly [fun, interesting, caring, sex god] guy vs a hot [boring, simple, arrogant, sexually incompetent] guy.
Maybe all the ugly youā€™ve dated have been ugly on the inside too, must be if they date such a wretched creature as yourself, but news flash lady! Everyone is different for fuck sake !!!!


So when guys say women are too tall, too dark, too fat, hair not long enough, hair too ā€œnappyā€, her teeth, because she has tattoos or weave, because she wears makeup or they donā€™t wanna date her because sheā€™s transā€¦.Thats ok. But women are obligated to accept any man as he is? Interestingā€¦yall are proving her point.

Imagine openly saying you donā€™t find your SO physically attractive, thatā€™s embarrassing for yourself and the person youā€™re with.


studies show no matter how old men get typically they are most attracted to women in their twenties whereas women are most attracted to men around their age. and yet, women are seen as being superficial and shallow for just wanting to be with someone attractiveā€¦


yes, basing whether or not you date somebody on their looks is shallow.
itā€™s the definition of shallow, in fact.


shallow is dating some entirely for their looks. dating someone you find attractive is just how attration works Ugly. 


You need to be attracted to the person you date. Thatā€™s just logic. Donā€™t settle for someone youā€™re not attracted to.

The issue here is not just saying ā€œyou should someone you find attractiveā€, the issue is saying ā€œdonā€™t date ugly guysā€ as though thatā€™s some sort of objective classification and acting like youā€™re literally better than people because youā€™re more physically attractive and they should be thanking the gods if you even grace them with your presence. Thatā€™s the conceited bullshit. Also for most people attraction has to be more than physical. Physical can be a part of it but there are plenty of hot assholes.

Shae Scott:Ā ā€œThis is why I donā€™t date ugly guys..ā€

Iā€™ve dated an ugly guy before and he was just a WASTE of my time. He didnā€™t get cocky, but he shouldā€™ve been a lil more appreciative of me. Seeing that no other girl would even look at him before I did. 

Holy fuck yā€™all are conceited. Those men are dodging bullets.



Hey, my boyfriend may not be conventionally attractive or the most attractive in the world but itā€™s almost as if when your personalities really click they become so attractive to you! But obviously, yall canā€™t do that as you need a personality to begin with.

 Well, this just happened.
 Milo Manara, master artist and storyteller, came in at the last ten minutes of
 my Art and Women panel and handed me a special gift in appreciation for
 fighting censorship- an original watercolor painting of Spider-Woman. The
 packed auditorium went wild.
 Wow. I'm just speechless

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

Thatā€™s basically a naked woman Iā€™m YELLING

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

Itā€™s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into ā€œsexyā€ poses. Or how women in comics walk like theyā€™re in high heels even barefoot.Ā 
Itā€™s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think ofĀ ā€œwomenā€ as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroesā€™ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for.Ā 

Iā€™m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You canā€™t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters.Ā 

Come on, letā€™s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

Weā€™re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention youā€™re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional charactersā€™ clothing is asinine.Ā 
What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I donā€™t think you do.
This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see howĀ ā€œempoweringā€ andĀ ā€œstrongā€ it actually looks:Ā 
Also:Ā 

He got the painting for fighting against ā€˜censorship.ā€™ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They donā€™t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.


You can see her butthole for chrissakes

I think the best imagery Iā€™ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.
Hugh Jackman on a menā€™s magazine. Heā€™s shirtless and buff and angry. Heā€™s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, itā€™s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.
Hugh Jackman on a womenā€™s magazine.Ā  He looks like a dad. He looks like heā€™s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.
Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.
Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE. 

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.
