    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?

    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

        I’ve never heard anyone say Prince Pierre Bonaparte didn’t shoot Ronald McDonald. Do with that (lack of) information what you will.

          Sounds like a low quality facts post. “No one has ever cleared Prince Pierre Bonaparte of shooting Ronald McDonald”

        He got shot by the burger king and the dairy queen and lived to tell about it.

    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.

        That’s vile. Imagine kissing a statue of a corpse that people grinded over.

          They put up a fence but so many people wanted to fondle it and literal protests happened. So they tore it down.

      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.

            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.

              What are those words in my comment directly after the word “women”? I just can’t quite make them out. Can you read them?

                Yep, you went on to include other people but at the same time you tried to make this an issue of sexism which its not.

    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!”

    Some of the bacteria detected, such as Staphylococcus, can be potentially dangerous and can lead to infections including sepsis, conjunctivitis, cystitis as well as endocarditis. For those with weaker immune systems, hand-washing soon after contact with a monument is advisable.

    Wear protection, or straight to horny jail.
