Woke college students are ‘hurt’ by supposedly ‘phallic’ abstract sculpture

Sir Anthony Gormley used steel blocks to create his piece called “Alert,” which was meant to portray a human squatting, but the students think it appears more equivalent to an “erect penis” instead.
Gormley released a statement that appeared on the school’s website.
“Through the conversion of anatomy into an architectural construction I want to re-assess the relation between body and space. Balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches and surveying the world around it, the attitude of this sculpture is alive, alert and awake,” he wrote.
Another concern was “Alert” being “exclusionary” by showing a man and not a woman.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. (An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”)This ^^^^^

Ben, are you personally exclusionary by being a man and not also a woman?

Who in their right mind would even conceive that to resemble a penis, erect or otherwise. Oh, that's right our brilliant successors. Man I would not want to be growing up with these idiots.

The only way I could see the college students hurt is if they tried to mount it for sexual (AC/DC) pleasure.

So it appears more and more that the basic requirement to go “woke” is to have a substantial part of your brain go
dead.

It’s the letter “L” sitting atop some blocks. “L” for leftist no doubt.

It doesn’t look anything like a penis. And it doesn’t look anything like art, either.
