A massive statue of a nude woman is set to stand alongside the Washington Monument later this year.

Organizers of Catharsis On The Mall event have launched a crowdfunding campaign seeking $90,000 to transport the 45-foot-tall statue, titled R-Evolution, to Washington D.C.

"R-Evolution is Deja Solis, a woman standing in her strength and power...expressing her humanity; how she feels when she is safe, when she can just be," the group said.

The National Park Service has granted permission for R-Evolution to stand on the National Mall from November to March as long as volunteers hold a constant vigil around the statue.

"For four months, she will be the focal point of a continuing vigil in support of education and awareness about the Equal Rights Amendment and will be present on the anniversary of the Women's March on January 21, 2018," Catharsis On The Mall organizers said.

Please, no. Don't do this.

Is this going to resemble Lena Dunham?

[KC_Conspirator]

So a nude woman statue is going to be next to a giant phallus?

Or even worse, Hillary!

The Left in this country is relentless. From every angle in our lives, they push their agenda down our throats. I suspect that Joe America is getting pretty fed up with not ever being able to just take a breath and enjoy his life. 24/7 politics will kill much of the ‘moderate’ support the Left has historically enjoyed. Please let it happen soon.

So to protest the sexualization of women, they’re posting a naked statue of a sexually idealized (buxomous, slim, fit) woman.

But a statue of a soldier is offensive and must be removed.

Just great. There hasn’t been enough garbage put out.

Sigh.

They can finish off the display by setting it on fire. The West Coast has “Burning Man.” The East Coast would have “Burning Woman.”

This country is as flaky as europe now.

What a crock of chit.

How disgusting and degrading.

[Lazamataz]

Is she hot?

[Red Badger]

Hilliary?..........................

[fwdude]

Because it’s.... “art,” don’t you know.

[Army Air Corps]

The East Coast would have “Burning Woman.”

A witch! Burn her!

[dblshot]

Probably someone will put a big pink vagina hat on it.

How about a nekkid Robert E. Lee?

Stop using logic! Their heads will explode

I don’t think the dims are ready for a naked Moochelle . . . no telling what they might find out.
