    People see men fondling a stature: “Hah! What a hilarious pervert.” People see a woman stradling a statue: “She must want children.”

      Men need to better communicate their domestic desires in sexual pantomime. Like, do a humping gesture but then do a baby rocking gesture then pretend you’re playing catch outside. “I’m trying to make a Little Leaguer here!”

      Just need another seat for the saddle. It’s also horrible that people do this to Victor’s grave.

      See, when someone identifies a problem, instead of everyone choosing to do worse, we can all do better.

      But it’s moot. This is just divisive rage bait from a bot farm. No one cares about either of these people, but it reinforces the “women are crazy feminists” rhetoric that makes it so easy to radicalize young men into incels.

      Careful there friend, you’re awfully close to reinforcing a negative view towards women/people in general based entirely off of a conversation on the internet that is most likely fake anyways.

      Golly, you’d have to be a real stupid jackass to let that happen, huh? Just a completely brain dead, ignorant, son-of-a-bitch.

      Fortunately you’re smarter than that, right? Right?

        He, in absolutely no way, said anything negative towards women. He said something negative about a single solitary human.

        Please, for the love of all things holy, shut the fuck up.

          the path to idiocracy has been chosen.

          I dunno man, seems kinda like saying something negative about the entirety of the human race to me

            Ok. That’s still not anything close to sexism. He’s just a little drama queen bitch desperate to stir up shit where there is none.

            He is a negative presence in society as a whole.

    The post’s statue looks cursed as fuck. The guy looks dead and violated. It’s worse than the shiny bull balls.

      Yeah cause it’s a grave statue. People literally go to a cementery and do this shit. According to wiki it was “kiss lips fondle dick” instead of straddling / grinding, but I guess some people do crazy shit.

    Of all the traditions one could use to point out objectification of women, statues was not it. People really do just like getting frisky with statues, regardless of gender

    Her heart’s in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

    For example:

    “Youth” (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

    “Adam and Eve”, Monaco

    Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

    And more that aren’t as famous I’m sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.

      Her heart was not in the right place, as the point she was trying to make was that men are scum

      Who is this Ronaldo guy, and why is he so important that he gets his own statue?

      I keep hearing his name everywhere, but he just looks like a football player to me… What makes him so special?

          Okay. So? What makes him important enough to have a statue, though?

          What’s next, dedicating statues to chess players?
