Thanks, but (no pun intended) I draw a line at this one. I'm perfectly fine with human body, but being required to do 6 years of drawing (anything) at school would probably have sent me pretty close to slitting my wrists.
No, as somebody who has had more than 50 combined stitches or staples in her wrists I can tell you that it takes a lot more than drawing to be pushed that far!
However, it would still take a society that did much more than just draw a naked body in art class.
It takes more than that for you. But I am _not_ graphically inclined, and every "art" class that I was ever required to take was sheer torture to me. The idea of having had to go through 6 years of it, no way to get out, is enough to make me whimper now, and I'm quite a few years out of school.
Everyone has different breaking points. Just because _yours_ don't involve nightmares about being forced to be visually artistic doesn't mean that holds for everyone. And vice versa - I am sure that at least some of whatever things that caused _you_ to do what you did are hardly blips on the radars of a number of people.
