    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.

      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?

    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!”

      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.

    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.

      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.

              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.

              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…

          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.

            Maybe stop sniffing petrol before you respond. Or learn the meaning of the word context. Could be helpful in the future. You never know ;)

      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.

            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.
