The existence of statues depicting men in Central Park is the biggest problem that I face as a woman living in New York City.
Amember of the Public Design Commission in New York City has called for removal of all of the statues of men that are currently in Central Park — and honestly, it’s about time.
During a hearing at City Hall on Monday, Hank Willis Thomas, a painter, stated:
“There are what, five or six [male] statues that I think could easily be replaced by individual statues of each of these women.”
Thomas could not be more right. Even if it cannot be done “easily,” as he suggests, the NYC government should make it a top priority to do so. The presence of these statues has been devastating New York women like me for far too long, and the city should spare no time, expense, or resource in assuring that they are disposed of immediately.
Of course, not everyone seems to understand the gravity of this situation like Thomas does. That would be too good to be true. While I am, of course, thankful to have a True Ally like Thomas as a city official — someone who clearly has his finger on the pulse of the issues that truly matter to us women — there are some sexist pigs out there who just don’t get it.
I’m looking at you, Mayor Bill de Blasio!
Yep. Believe it or not, a representative for that misogynistic Neanderthal actually dared to tell the New York Post that although he would support adding new statues, he isn’t as jazzed about the idea of removing all of the old ones.

Replace them with statues of Barbi Benton, Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton, Ann Margaret and so on......

Wow she really has no problems.
So stupid...not guilty....so stupid...not guilty....so stupid...not guilty.
Oh what the heck. NOT GUILTY!!!
Somebody needs their sarcasm detector adjusted.
Really?! Hyperbole much?!
Guilty. That’s fake blonde, too.
Yeah that’s the only possible explanation.
She was being sarcastic which makes her
SO NOT GUILTY!!!
Funny thing is, if she trolled a feminist gathering with this, she would get rousing cheers.
Indeed, all the sarcasm leaked on my keyboard. I could hardly move my fingers it was so thick!
I do agree about the not guilty, though. She and Tyrus are hilarious together!
Adjust your sarcasm meter.
I presume you’re not familiar with Ms. Timpf.
Her middle name is ‘sarcasm’.
I’m not likely to forget her now.
How about statues of female vegetables of color that we can worship while addressing them with their non-cis pronouns?
A collective psychosis is sweeping the country.
These are the 4 women they have selected to have statues erected:
Billie Holiday
Elizabeth Jennings Graham
Dr. Helen Rodríguez Trías
Katherine Walker
All statues should have reptilian aliens on them—humans have been over-represented for too long!
She’s a very scrawny, smelly, vapid twit. and Guilty.
How many women are there on the crews who would remove the statues ?
I’d like to investigate her further.
LOL, great character. Catherine O’Hara was quite the hottie back in the day.
