1. Please see your optometrist. The man is standing upon rocks, not the creatures surrounding his feet.
2. Please see your psychiatrist. Those creatures are sirens. Hint: They’re imaginary creatures. Not women.
I can see fine. It is your reading skill that is questionable. I said nothing about the man standing on the women. As for the sirens not being women....Sirens are indeed mythical characters, female mythical characters. Have you ever seen, read about, or heard of a siren without some female features? Have you ever seen, read about, or heard of a siren with male characteristics? Mythical or not, sirens are always female. This statue, besides being ugly, is sexist. Does it deserve a $2,000,0000 repair job? Not in my estimation.
