Though Keel assumed some of her harassers were among the creators of the statue, she said she could not identify any of the men.

Probably because the men had their pants on.

Oh, lighten up! Look at some Dutch masters paintings. All of those frolicing peasants in states of tumescence, albiet clothed. No lie. It was in a coffee table book we had when I was a kid. I think my mother bought it to be sophisticated and never turned a page.

Well, I hope they never complain about how pinups in the workplace create a hostile environment for women anymore.

This is a riot....

And the funny thing is, I once built a snow penis. And I am a chick. My other two room-mates and I had it in our yard at school.

But we didn't mean to build a snow penis. We were trying to build the space shuttle. (We were flight students, it was appropriate)

Imagine what that might look like as it weathered and melted. It stayed a remarkably long time. Everyone thought it was a penis. We tried to tell them it wasn't, but there wasn't any point, so we turned it into at least a good penis.

Also those cool Mexican man in a barrel souveniors that you press down and get a BIG surprise!

You said you'd never seen phalluses publicly displayed, but they were in Ancient Rome and Greece.

I must not have made myself clear. I am not in ancient Rome or Greece. How can I possible see them publicly displayed there? I'm talking about contemporary America, not extinct societies of 2000+ years ago. I doubt that their moral values were even vaguely like ours of today..

All of those frolicing peasants in states of tumescence, albiet clothed.

albeit clothed. That's my point.

A popular tourist item in Chile is a wooden Indian with a HUGE grin on his face. You pull his head away from his feet and you also get a BIG surprise. (That explains the huge grin! LOL!)

She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.

It troubles me that this woman is a teacher. If she would have just said a giant snow penis built on campus is offensive, and left it at that, I would have agreed with the woman. But such a moronic statement deserves ridicule.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

My sentiments exactly. What I see is America's leisure class involved in a whole bunch of navel gazin' and faux agita.

[N. Theknow]

“It was offensive because it was pornographic,” said Amy E. Keel ’04, who said she and her roommate “dismantled” the giant snow penis.

Bet they had a ball doing that.

[sauropod]

“Men think they have the right to force that on you,” she said. “It’s a logical extension.”

Umm... Amy sweetie... We do. Have had that right for millenia ;-) Bend over like a good girl...

[wimpycat]

Whatever.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Again, please.......lol

[judgeandjury]

“It was gendered violence...and accompanied by aggressive actions toward us (women).”

So what do these women do? They turn right around and do the same thing to men, by attacking the snowman, that they are complaining that the men are doing to them by building the snowman.

[annyokie]

I don't want to sound silly, but the state of the erect penis is STILL quit obvious! I'm not offended.

[Paulus Invictus]

And Klintoon's unfortunate rape victim named Broaddrick? Where was NOW when she appeared on NBC? Out to lunch, and they still are. They and all RATs, female, gay or transvestite and otherwise are sewer scum, but that's an opinion guys.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Are you sure you're not a writer? lol

There is something poetic in the thought of a bunch of militant feminists beating a giant snow penis........

[Centurion2000]

The 9-foot snow phallus, constructed in Tercentenary Theater, was torn down just hours after its erection.

If it stayed erect for several hours does that mean they melted viagra into the snow ?

[annyokie]

Those things are a scream! My cousin had one that said "I'm a horny little devil", complete with three horns. (Two on the top of his head.)
