"The main reason why men and women make different aesthetic judgments is the fact that the latter, generally incapable of abstraction, only admire what meets their complete approval"

- Franz Grillparzer

About this Quote

This quote by Franz Grillparzer recommends that males and females alter visual judgments since women are generally less efficient in abstraction. This suggests that women are less most likely to value something that is not immediately pleasing to them. Instead, they tend to only appreciate what they discover completely satisfactory. This could be due to the fact that females are more likely to be emotionally driven when making choices, whereas males are most likely to be analytical. This could describe why men and women typically have various opinions when it pertains to art, music, and other kinds of innovative expression. Ultimately, this quote suggests that females are more likely to be influenced by their emotions when making aesthetic judgments, while males are most likely to be guided by their intelligence.
