[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5274255, member: 65637"] Yes and no. It's complicated. Barbarian men and fantasy stylized men are hyper-masculine. The emphasis is on their muscle structure, their biceps, large broadened shoulders, thick bodyset. The traditional barbarian man has a high lifted gaze, a very grounded stance. Traditionally he is very scarred and, well, [I]not[/I] attractive, covered in grim and blood. The primary emphasis is in determination and strength. If a woman is presented in the same picture, she's in a state of supplication, while the male typically ignores her. Barbarian and fantasy styled women are hyper-[I]sexualized[/I]. The emphasis is on their sexual features, large breasts, plush lips, widened eyes, bizarrely thing waist. They have a swayed back to better show off their sexual features, giving them a look as if they're ready to fall on their own back at any moment. Traditionally, they are completely unscarred and held to very high beauty standards, often completely unbloodied and looking as if they just stepped out of a fresh shower. The primary emphasis is in [I]readiness to have sex[/I]. If a man is presented in the same picture, he is typically either presented as an equal, or as someone the female is attempting to seduce, with again the emphasis being on sex. Want to make it [I]truly[/I] equal? Imagine this picture of Conan the Barbarian: He stands next to the bodies of the dead, twisting his now small waist to present both backside and his chest. His lips are full and slightly parted to shoe both increase sexualized blood flow and shortness of breath. His body is gleaming and oiled without a trace of dirt or grime on it, his hair rich and flowing behind him. His loincloth very obviously stands out from his large and...well. [I]You get the idea. [/I]But we don't see that picture of the male barbarian, do we? No, only of the [I]female[/I] barbarian. [/QUOTE]
