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.

What about one of the Central Park Jogger?
That’s sick, yes, but it would be a reminder to people to be careful.
The Belgians haven’t torn down Brussels’ Mannekin Pis yet? So it’s still peeing in the heart of the EU?
She is insane.
I am sure the statues are of men, who are famous for their accomplishments and contributions. Removing those statues, just because they are men is terrible.
Instead, they could have looked for and found a few famous, accomplished women throughout history and put up some statues of these accomplished women too.

The 19th Amendment was a huge mistake.

I am beginning to believe you are right.
Show you? Watch Hannity - saw her say that on one show of the few I’ve seen
Nude of course
Well....you’re a buzz kill!
The statue would be top heavy.
But I know Kathy Timpf and she is NOT a smelly twit by her own admission.
Why would you even say something like that about her?
She's very smart, conservative and good-looking. She is NOT going to say she is a smelly twit on Hannity.
You must me hateful or drunk or both.
Check her out on The Gutfeld Show on Fox. She’s a comedian. It’s a bit. She’s a hoot. A hot hoot. You’d like her. A lot. On second thought, stay away from her. She’s mine.
Tirempf! Harrumpf! Bravo Katie!
Now yer talkin’! :-)
At ease!
