Harvey Weinstein approves.

Or would if he hasn’t fled to join Roman Polanski.

Ummmm - NO!

++++

A 45-foot-tall statue of a nude woman, weighing in at 16,000 pounds, will greet visitors on the Mall for four months if activists have their way.

At least it isn't a statue of Hellary.

It could be a five foot 16,000 lb statue.

A lot of great pieces of artwork depict nudity.

This is not one of them.

Devil’s Advocate here:

Nude statues aren’t necessarily ‘obscene’. I’ve seen plenty of nudes, male and female, that were simply works of art, and obvious as such. Same thing with anatomically-correct statues of animals.

It’s all in the presentation.

I claim discrimination. I want a 45 foot statue of me naked.

And how many women actually have that figure? Why not a Rosie O'Donnell like figure.

How come it's a white woman?

...

What I’ve seen is not obscene. It’s simply a model of a shapely young woman in a standing pose. There is nothing lascivious, salacious, pernicious or ‘Dirty Girl’ about it.
I know why the sculptor wants to place the figure facing the White House, as though it were a ‘challenge’ of some kind to the president. That logic is pretty weak.
Sometimes a sculpture is just a sculpture.

Remember last year, when Michael Moore’s movie “Trumpland” ended up helping the GOP more than damaging it?
Maybe this little stunt will also have an unexpectedly benign effect.

The old “start a conversation" excuse - unless they're dead, people already know all about that kind of grievance - just another stunt by Trump hating a-holes, trying to keep the misogynist narrative alive.

Guys - just take a page from the left’s playbook

It makes me FEEL threatened and “triggered”.
So now I can go throw poo, and sheep blood on it.
then cover it with an ISIS flag
and then out some bacon and barbecue ribs on it.

I know - we have mundane responsibilities to fulfill, like work and family. But there has to be a rent-a-mob program to get this done for us.
Suggestions?

All I am going to say is, I don’t care if it’shows a giant naked woman or a giant astronaut in a spacesuit. I am not interested in such a huge statue on the lawn of the national mall. Where are they going to put it? In the lawn area to remove grassy space on the lawn? I like the open space!!!

I’m far happier having a fake naked woman on the mall than a real pant-suited one in the White House.

“they say the 45-foot-tall female nude will be an opportunity to “start a conversation about violence against women.””

Well, doing something which inspires such will indeed do so.
