That second photo is...wow!

Face down, ass up. That's the way I like my happy meal

Oh so that’s why they started taking the statues out

[-] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

That and similar incidents probably played a big part in that decision.

"Statue Facts Nobody Asked for"

Bro, she literally asked for those facts

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 156 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Resand@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

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

Charging Bull also known as Bull of Wall Street

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

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 month ago

To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.

[-] cadekat@yiffit.net 24 points 1 month ago

Whoa now, I'm sure there are gay examples of statue objectification.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

Hey now dog statues also get wear down from getting pet. We dont just objectify humans.

You're not wrong. It is literal objectification of people haha ... Just not in the way the OP meant

Dude's Wikipedia Page is rather interesting. He got shot by Prince Pierre Bonaparte over a proxy duel.

[-] bottleofchips 91 points 1 month ago

Fuck me I thought you meant Ronald McDonald for a minute there

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

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

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

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

In other news I'm considering a career as a Living Statue...

I hear it's a hard field to get into.

But not impossible! Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Hell, people grope testicles on non-human statues.

Feminists always think women are better then men, until they are provided with proof that they are just as shitty because (surprise surprise) women are just humans too.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 74 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

None of the feminists I've ever personally met do this. Are you sure you're not just rageposting right wing propaganda?

Asserting that "women are just humans too" is literally feminism.

Curse those darn feminists /s

Really though the problem here is social media where saying something provacative and obviously wrong will net you more interactions than being cautious and thorough.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

That's true. The feminists that believe in this crap do not represent the majority of feminists, just the loud, online feminists.

[-] Phineaz@feddit.org 43 points 1 month ago

Making a lot of assumptions there, buddy.

Remember, only a Sith will deal in absolutes.

You're thinking of misandrists. Feminism is about equality of the sexes. Other groups (eg misandrists and terfs) sometimes claim to be feminist as a cover. A feminist believes men and woman are equals, a misogynist believes women are inferior, and a misandrist believes men are inferior.

Feminists don't think women are better than men. They also believe women are just humans too.

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

[-] yournamehere@lemm.ee 52 points 1 month ago

but will mrs proudman get off her high horse? absolutely not. the path to idiocracy has been chosen.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

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.

But OP the person in the pic is literally asking for this statue fact

[-] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

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

[-] crossdl@leminal.space 20 points 1 month ago

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.
