But its impression still sparked an intense debate, from dining halls to dorm rooms, over the appropriateness of public displays of genitalia.Public displays of genitalia are not appropriate. This isn't a feminist issue, it is a public morals issue.

...But womens groups on campus have led a chorus of complaints against the snow penis, arguing that such a display is demeaning to women......The same women's groups who were silent when Monica was an item...

Men think they have the right to force that on you, she said. Its a logical extension. Hm. No matter how she tries, she can't escape the double entendre.

There isn't much of anything one could say about this that isn't funny.

It was offensive because it was pornographic, said Amy E. Keel 04, who said she and her roommate dismantled the giant snow penis."As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere," she said.
Keel and her friends then excused themselves from the interview, saying they were late for a local performance of "The Vagina Monologues."
Skey said he agreed Keel did not do anything wrong by knocking down the statue.
"If people found it obscene, they had a right to rip it down," he said. "Thats perfectly true."
That's more disturbing than anything the feminazis said.

They're just nervous because they didn't know they came that big in white.

When a few members of the Harvard crew team decided to build a snowy representation of the male anatomy on Feb. 11, they never imagined it would be so hard to keep it up. The 9-foot snow phallus, constructed in Tercentenary Theater, was torn down just hours after its erection.
[snip]
Womens Studies Lecturer Diane L. Rosenfeld, who teaches Women, Violence and the Law this semester, said that the implications of the snow phallus go beyond the legitimacy of the statues presence.
The ice sculpture was erected in a public space, one that should be free from menacing reminders of womens sexual vulnerability, Rosenfeld wrote in an e-mail yesterday.
She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.
Women do not need to be reminded of the power of the symbol of the male genitalia, Rosenfeld said. My guess is that they are constantly reminded of it in daily messages.

Wonder if any of the nekkid male protesters walked up to her, wagged some weenie and said, "Woo woo!"?

But Skey said he thinks that at a school like Harvard, jokes can be blown out of proportion.

It was gendered violence, because [their comments] were said in the context of our gender and accompanied by aggressive actions toward us. I seriously can't believe there are people in the world who use sentences like this with a straight face.
