Women are more difficult to caricature than men - partly because beauty is more difficult to caricature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The main reason why men and women make different aesthetic judgments is the fact that the latter, generally incapable of abstraction, only admire what meets their complete approval.
It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women's value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance.
I feel fortunate that I'm not a beauty. I'm not a classic beauty. I feel it is harder for girls who are like that. There are fewer parts.
A bit of a theory, more a corner of the eye noticing than an airtight argument: in the course of long artistic careers, women are more likely than men to change form and style, Proteus-like.
The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.
You cannot say that one woman is 'more beautiful' than another, though people always do. It's so ridiculous to say that.
Beauty is less important than quality.
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
Because it's difficult to have a career as an artist, and in every situation where it's difficult to have a career, it's even harder for women, for all the other reasons that it's harder in other fiercely contested fields.
In a way, a man's body is more beautiful than a woman's.
