| Description |
On loan from Villa Borghese in Rome, this Hermaphrodite is a 16th Century Italian reproduction of a 1st Century AD Roman original. As the name attests, the profile and proportions of the figure are very feminine, and the only aberration to that presentation is the male genitalia. And honestly, proportionally speaking, the penis on this Hermaphrodite is bigger than the manhoods on the nearby nude warriors and Roman gods. The loveliest nymph at the Louvre turns out to also be the most phallic! Honestly I expected the presentation to be more ambiguous. (But indeed, various descriptions of Hermaphrodite indeed do depict someone who is very feminine in appearance but has male genitalia.) Throughout my European journey, I had been referring to male nudes as "teabaggers," using the popular nickname of the US reactionary Tea Party movement followers but in a more common slang meaning of the word, and to female nudes as "carpetmunchers" as a contrast. For this Hermaphrodite, I am keeping the teabagger theme - and referring to him as "Ann Coulter," after the US reactionary political commentator, who not only is known for her inflammatory rhetoric against women (and loves to do upper-class white gay men's bidding), but also has a very masculine appearance, complete with a huge Adam's Apple, leading many to speculate that she is biologically and temperamentally male. |
