I do not think it means what you think it means.

I still don't what the conversation was. Nothing in your reference to your class is that clear here, and yet you use it as an example to make your argument. So let's agree there is no persuasive value in you bringing it up.


But let's get back to my original question you didn't answer. What about that picture is feminine to you?

Other people disliked the work but what many other people agreed with you in this post regarding the feminization issue? You seemed pretty alone on that one.


Also I didn't say I loved the pics in the first post. I said I am big fan of the artist. At any rate. And? So I don't get an opinion because I like the artist but you dislike the artist but you get an opinion? How does that work in your mind?

Man you cited this quote like 10 times. What do you think it means?
