Men exposing themselves
We will concede that Jonathan Jones has significant form for exposing the seedier contents of his id under the guise of performing art criticism - it was only last year that he outed himself as upskirting in imagination the artists' model whom he believed to have posed for Courbert's L'Origine du Monde when she happened to be painted fully clothed - and reading in his (rather negative) review of the current Gauguin exhibition at the National Gallery, that he deplores the exclusion of so many of Gauguin's Tahitian nudes manifesting 'the calm, clear admiration with which Gauguin dotes on women’s breasts' (of the very young Tahitian women to whom he gave syphilis...), Tonstant Weader gagged rather.
And on men revealing themselves, I was rather amused to see a report - unfortunately in a source to which I have paywalled access - that the Grand Lodge of Scotland Freemasons have abandoned social media 'after confidential internal information and spats between members appeared on the internet. The lodge also had problems with images of its members being posted publicly without their permission.'
Further on men exposing themselves, Yet Another Piece on OMG women are getting more and more into a position where they can be Really Choosy about MENZ: A Good Man Is Getting Even Harder to Find: The future of mating looks grim as more educated women compete for fewer eligible males. What these handwringers never, ever, seem to wrap their minds around is the extent to which, in former times, women were obliged to settle. And the more women don't have to settle, well, the more they won't. These articles always seem to be going 'Woe upon you, gurlyz' rather than exhorting men to up their game as viable partners in relationships (which is not necessarily contingent upon educational attainment and economic status).
