A massive statue of a nude woman is set to stand alongside the Washington Monument later this year.
Organizers of Catharsis On The Mall event have launched a crowdfunding campaign seeking $90,000 to transport the 45-foot-tall statue, titled R-Evolution, to Washington D.C.
"R-Evolution is Deja Solis, a woman standing in her strength and power...expressing her humanity; how she feels when she is safe, when she can just be," the group said.
The National Park Service has granted permission for R-Evolution to stand on the National Mall from November to March as long as volunteers hold a constant vigil around the statue.
"For four months, she will be the focal point of a continuing vigil in support of education and awareness about the Equal Rights Amendment and will be present on the anniversary of the Women's March on January 21, 2018," Catharsis On The Mall organizers said.

The Left in this country is relentless. From every angle in our lives, they push their agenda down our throats. I suspect that Joe America is getting pretty fed up with not ever being able to just take a breath and enjoy his life. 24/7 politics will kill much of the ‘moderate’ support the Left has historically enjoyed. Please let it happen soon.

So to protest the sexualization of women, they’re posting a naked statue of a sexually idealized (buxomous, slim, fit) woman.

But a statue of a soldier is offensive and must be removed.

They can finish off the display by setting it on fire. The West Coast has “Burning Man.” The East Coast would have “Burning Woman.”
