So what you are saying is that southern men are afraid that art and culture will sour their masculinity?

First off, I’m not attempting to speak for the Freeper to whom this question was posed. This is just my opinion based on personal experience.

I believe that the average southern man would appreciate artistic works by the likes of Frederick Remington & Owen Gromme.

But, some forms of art and high culture so adored by chic east coast types, such as dung spattered on a painting of Mary, The Vagina Monologues, or a crucifix immersed in a jar of urine don’t play well down here.

Much (not all) of what passes for art and culture in your neck of the woods is considered by many to be nothing more than the products of sick perverted minds.

Our collective masculinity isn’t threatened by the New York Philharmonic, nor is it threatened by the works of Robert Mappletrorpe.

To quote a wise man ..... “It’s all vanity and striving after the wind”

I love Church and Moorse and other artists of the Hudson River School, as well as most of the "Old Masters." I also like Dali. Piccasso, and Matese. Do I have a chance as a southern gentleman?
