He looks like he’s enjoying it.
Seems like that shut her up right quick lol
We dunno, the meme ends after one reply.
She’s probably trying to make a completely valid point about the objectification and sexualization of women, but she picked the absolute worst metaphor for it, grabbing the crotch of male statues is an incredibly common thing.
When I die I want my body to be encased in copper and this same rumor be spread about me and place my statue next to his.
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
This dude is terminally lonely
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?
People say he’s the greatest footballer of all time.
Okay. So? What makes him important enough to have a statue, though?
What’s next, dedicating statues to chess players?
That Ronaldo statue has a very prominent bulge!
Charging Bull also known as Bull of Wall Street
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.
You gotta respect the grind.
Hell, people grope testicles on non-human statues.
The Charging Bull
in New York City, e.g.But OP the person in the pic is literally asking for this statue fact
“Statue Facts Nobody Asked for”
Bro, she literally asked for those facts
Guess she’s a nobody?
Just like the rest of us
Not coolmatt
He’s cool
Hey, I like boobies too!
but will mrs proudman get off her high horse? absolutely not. the path to idiocracy has been chosen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I was so angry when I posted that, you can’t imagine! The phone I used at the time ended being thrown out of the window and killing a cat. Pure, unbridled, boiling rage.
None of the feminists I’ve ever personally met do this
The sample size to beat them all
Most of my friends in HS were feminists who did this shit more and more as we got older
Most grew up eventually and learned to stop putting their foot in their mouths as often, like most of us do, but a couple never did and are probably out there being these memes rn
women are just humans too.
What the fuck
Are you unable to understand that simple statement in the context of the phrase? Or what is it you’re having trouble understanding?
I am shitposting by reacting incredulously to a very obvious and factual statement.
Shitpost away my dude.
Making a lot of assumptions there, buddy.
Remember, only a Sith will deal in absolutes.
Which absolutes?
“Feminists always”
Yes, people never exaggerate.
To play devil’s advocate. Context and usage matter.
The phrase “xxxxx always” has become synonymous with “xxxxx almost always” in this context. Especially, in casual English used on the Internet. The “almost” is implied…
(Disclaimer: this isn’t meant to defend the OP, who is most likely a sexist shit big :P )
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.
That’s true. The feminists that believe in this crap do not represent the majority of feminists, just the loud, online feminists.
Feminists don’t think women are better than men. They also believe women are just humans too.
Rational feminists do, yes. The loud online feminists like the one depicted though…
You got that from a single sentence?
Maybe stop sniffing petrol before you respond. Or learn the meaning of the word context. Could be helpful in the future. You never know ;)
Yeah, the context is your mom never standing up to your dad, so you never learned what strength looks like.
Mate, I chose the name, that’s not a burn. This is like making fun of a clown for wearing bright colors.
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.
Feminism is about equality of the sexes.
I have never seen this to be applicable. From people its always one extreme side or the other.
You’ve most certainly seen it to be applicable. The issue is, the most arrogant people are always the loudest. People who claim to be feminist, but are terfs or misandrist usually garner the most negative attention and people start to only believe that feminism only means that thing. Feminism isn’t very eye catching. People who are it don’t scream at the top of their lungs.
Feminism is more widespread than you might believe too. Cause it’s really really simple. Women and men are equal, deserve equal rights and for the majority of examples, can perform the same tasks.
So you mean equality. Say equality then.
Feminism is a crazy name crazy people invented to shift things to the opposite side, destructively.
You say feminism, but just the fucking word excludes half the fucking population.
One side has all the power in this scenario. Men will always have innate physical capability that outstrips that of women. As such, it is impossible to consider search of equality between genders as anything other ‘feminism’, as men are the only ones with the implicit ability to subjugate the other. Women do not have this implicit ability over men. There is a reason that it’s called feminism which is that women are always the ones being subjugated.
Besides that, feminism is good for men as well. By exploring concepts such as the all-encompassing gender matrix, what it is, and how it is embedded in and affecting society, it can be shown the damage that such concepts do not only to women, but to men as well. For example, why is it considered ‘girly’ to have strong emotions other than anger? This affects many men’s lives in negative ways. Now what if I told you that the “all-encompassing gender matrix” is just a term I used to make patriarchy more palatable to you.
You can say that feminism inherently unincludes half the population, but only because that half already has and has had the vast majority of power in society since pretty much the advent of agriculture, but it could be argued even before then as well…
You can be upset about it, but humans are dumb. Language is dumb. Terms that people have came up with, the definition that has changed over time, and how it does not relate to things in the present is dumb. Nothing will ever be exactly how you or anybody else wants it to be. It’s a collective that you just have to accept as it is.
That being said, feminism has old roots when we used to pump our wives full of lithium and give them lobotomies. Treating them as equals was not something that was even discussed. You could say you were an egalitarian, but then you would have to also admit you liked people of color, or LGBTQ people. And that was a step too far for some.
Also its not excluding half the population. It’s INCLUDING them. Men are included by default. It’s a term that allows the conversation for how shitty women are typically treated to exist.
Equality doesn’t mean equal treatmeant, but equal outcomes. Obvious black and white examples like men don’t need cervix screening.
There are more nuanced things too, like homeless rates, suicide rates, career opportunities, sexual assault victims, education graduation rates, family court biases etc. All things that require nuanced attention between the sexes, and aren’t easy to get right.
99% of feminists are just your every day person, wishing for a more equitable world. There’s fringe parties of every socially political movement. I’ve kind of always wished there was a slightly more balanced name, but the movement started from the suffragettes, so it makes sense from a historical stand point.
I saw that statue irl on a tour I think. I can’t really get the story together, wasn’t she some kind of local celebrity and touching the chest of the statue is supposed to give you luck in love or something?
It’s Molly Malone and her statue is in Dublin. Rubbing her boobs supposedly brings good luck.
I’m not sure where the good luck part came from… But leave it to men to classify copping a feel as a sign of good luck.
Lmao - guess my joke about the copping a feel didn’t land. Guess I should’ve added in a /joke there.
Oh. It’s tourists. The debates about it aren’t new, either. :/
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Malone
Although based on this thread I think Wikipedia needs a list of statues routinely groped by people.
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
To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.
Whoa now, I’m sure there are gay examples of statue objectification.
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
In other news I’m considering a career as a Living Statue…
I hear it’s a hard field to get into.
Hi it’s me, the Victor Noir statue in Paris
