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?

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

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.

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.

Making a lot of assumptions there, buddy.

Remember, only a Sith will deal in absolutes.

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

[–] [email protected] 92 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

She forgot one of the universal truths. Balls are just funny

Charging Bull also known as Bull of Wall Street

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.

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.

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

Damn that article just doesn't give a slightest fuck about citing any sources

[–] [email protected] 92 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

"People are saying it!"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

That's no man. That's a king.

A Burger King?
