If interpretation is endless as well as purely subjective, then do you think the art is actually just made up in the mind by each reader/viewer? Total...

Well? Which is it then?

So now you want to claim that they are endless/limitless?

Oh right, it was "endless".

I also find it amusing that someone who claims that all interpretation is subjective and neither true or false is so concerned about my understand wha...

You literally said it wasn't limitless.

I find your attempt to backpedal amusing. I'm afraid you're still bound to the simple fact that claiming there are limits to interpretation means ther...

None of that matters the moment you make claims like "there are limits to interpretation."

In order to do so, you must simultaneously be making claims about the art itself. There's no way around that. Either way, you're admitting to there be...

Yes, you have to. It's part of the process of being able to say anything about an artwork or art is to interpret it. You literally can't say anything ...

All art by all artists. You're interpreting art to be endlessly interpretable by the individual viewer/reader/whatever.

It's logically impossible to say that it's objectively true that all interpretation of art is subjective since that is an interpretation of art.

That's just aggression showing through. Since there's no reason to be rude, I kindly ask you to treat me with respect. It doesn't add anything to the ...

You said: In my response I was trying to make a point that these traits are leading to very many bad things. So, just because the traits may not initi...

An observation, so technically the latter. For example, your post just assumes that women do have a choice in having children in this day and age, whe...

If you want to have a private conversation with someone, then PM them. This is an open discussion thread, so by participating here you are tacitly giv...

I take it you don't know much about what it's like to be a woman.

:rofl: Well, at least you can be honest about it.

That's an interesting anecdote. And certainly some women are more criminal than some men. Yet the fact remains that most criminals are men.

It sounds like you do believe in patriarchy but you just don't want to call it that. Either way, sounds like we believe the same things. Back to journ...

Soooo.... When women weren't allowed to vote or own property or husbands were allowed to beat their wives that was called....?

He just turned 1 year old last week. He's officially figured out how to say "mamam" and tell the dog "guh te beh" ("go to bed") :heart:

You're right. Sorry if my previous post seemed flippant: I'm currently responding while nkbjJR is crawling over me. :joke: can't get a break from them...

A) Some journals are written with a large audience in mind. B) the article I link to says that men who pursued journaling most often did so apologizin...

Okay, yes, I agree with all that. What is your point?

And that's patriarchy.

Despite my wariness of your cynicism, here's an article which supports my post. This article speaks specifically about journaling as a female literary...

Eternal cynic. I somehow doubt you'd listen to any sources I provide here either.

A) Typically throughout history laborers have not been the ones creating art. B) A day job ends at the end of the day. Motherhood is 24/7.

They do take up a considerable amount of time and brain power! I'm afraid I cannot find the exact quote at the moment. Though I do hope common sense w...

I heard that in a graduate lecture a few months ago. Give me a moment to see if I can find a source.

Women were never banned from art as a quaint pastime. They were expected to give it up once married and of course never pursue it as a serious career....

I remember that thread!

I think the two in this case are related: it may be that social and historical influences have (generally) made women better in this respect. As Bitte...

:rofl:

Ah, yes, endless wars and fighting. That's always so productive. I don't really want to get too bogged down in how the "good guys" are the ones who cr...

Feminism is not just about females :)

But isn't it bad if these traits lead to more violence and harm in the world?

The ratio of men to women in prison and in crime statistics isn't a stereotype, it's a fact. I balk at suggesting men and women are unequal. But I sim...

Are YOU trying to start a fight? :P Like you said, plenty of historical and social reasons for these things. Kinda hard for women to get prizes and be...

That's true. It's almost impossible to tell, however, how much of that is inherent sex differences and how much social/environmental influences.

Echoing some other posters here: The arrangement you and your mother have is only seen as unconventional in some times and places, like late 20th and ...

Oh, but it's so obvious how much you love to bicker with me :kiss:

Generally yes, but not when we've already established that you and I have nothing to add to each other. Anyone else might actually have something inte...

I think Zhou can respond for himself.

You're repeating yourself again. Like I said before, you and I are at an impasse here, so I don't see a point in continuing the conversation with you....

It's haughty to go from "my personal opinion is that I don't like Shakepeare" to "there is no value or no greater value in Shakespeare than my persona...

Except there's a lot more to it, and a whole litany of other things in Shakespeare.

Yes, but which is better for drinking? Or for flying? I'm getting sick of repeating myself, but here I go: Michael Bay makes good art for entertainmen...
