"Men are better artists than women": video essay by J.J. Davis

Julia James Davis at the War On Beauty channel explains that Men are better artists than women. Quotes:

Over time, I've come to believe that this is not the reason that there's not great women artists. It's just that simply men are naturally better at the creative act. and actually that the creative act in itself is essentially male, but also that women serve an incredibly important function in the art made by men. And this natural synergy between men and women in the arts with men as the doer and the woman as the muse is exactly what generated incredible beauty in our world.

But in our contemporary society, having this opinion is seen as just flat-out wrong.

So, how I got onto this topic in the first place? Well, as usual, I was scrolling social media on Tik Tok and on X and I kept seeing this recurring thing about girlfriends making fun of their boyfriend's apartments or what they picked out at HomeGoods. And then I saw tweets and comments back to those videos by men... "Oh my gosh, don't get a girlfriend. They'll literally make you gay and feminize you and take you to HomeGoods and make you get a bed frame."

And this discourse is actually very revealing because both of these points of view are wrong. The first opinion, which is usually the opinion held by women, is that men are aesthetically challenged and women are the arbiters of taste. The second opinion, it's usually the idea held by men, is that men being interested in interior design and aesthetics is gay or feminine, which is equally incorrect. And another side misconception associated with both of these thoughts is that a man even being into those things is a man being in touch with his quote-unquote "feminine" side. Design and arts and creative expression in every sense in every field has come to be associated or seen as the domain of women. But on the whole the greatest artists and designers and creatives throughout history have always been men.

...

It was once love that created beauty. But that love between men and women is really being drained. And I'm starting to actually think that men back in the 1700s, for example, when Edmund Burke was writing, not only were not oppressing women, but that they genuinely loved them. Like when you read Burke on beauty, he speaks so highly of women that they are the highest bearers of beauty and perfection. And to behold a woman is to feel love. Not in a lustful or possessive way, but in a way of just pure admiration.

So in conclusion, I think that we need to get back to the natural roles of women and men in every way, including in the dynamic of art and beauty. and that men have to rediscover their natural aesthetic sense and not think that it's something feminine, but realize that it's actually an incredibly important and disowned aspect of masculinity. I think that only in this way will the proper force and upward energy be created that is necessary in bringing beauty back, not just on an individual level, but on a societal level.
