Could've been done better but I think that the artist's intentions were sound.

Perhaps I got a little swept away by my own argument and preferred to ignore this inconvenient but valid point. Can't you put your interpretation into a spoiler or something?

I'm not sure about that Batlord, any more than any opinion that includes the word "men" or "women" is stereotyping them monolithically. People make generalisations all the time, usually with the tacit understanding that there will always be exceptions.
( Although not all people, of course; I wouldn't like to stereotype the human race as being monolithically generalisers.)

Are there any people like that in this thread?
My position, for instance, is that the statue isn't an appropriate memorial for MW

Because it’s a nude representation.

Court is adjourned

I think what you fail to take into account is the millennia of objectification of women that lead to this. There's no problem with nudity per se, the problem is that for a very long time, women were (and continue to be) judged primarily based on their looks, and treated essentially as sexual objects for the gratification of men. It wasn't until feminism emerged that this started to change. Celebrating a feminist by again putting the emphasis on the female form seems diametrically opposite of what feminism would like to achieve. :/

Do you really think there’s any possible way I haven’t heard that **** a million ****ing times?

Pussy is good. I don’t give a **** if it’s you or billy graham. **** that puritanical the body is evil lust is evil sex is bad bull****.

Not ****ing hearing it or your generic gender studies justification for it.

Don't waste your time tbh. He's too obsessed with women fulfilling his desires to be able to have a conversation involving them doing literally anything but ****ing him. The "antipuritanical" nonsense is just a way to divert the conversation away from his patriarchal hangups.

Is that where you picked up branding your puritanical demands for female subservience as feminism to avoid criticism?
