In 2025, the California brain trust couldn’t think of an historically significant woman worthy of being memorialized? They probably thought anyone they picked — historical, fictional, allegorical — would be too divisive.

So to celebrate modern womanhoodness, they choose a naked streetwalker displaying her wares on the waterfront. Because, well, yeah, because nothing symbolizes modern womanhoodness more than nakedness self-exhibition.

Gotta stay sharp to keep up with woke. She’s BOLD and UNAFRAID.

At least she’s not defacating on the sidewalk. There’s nothing that would have better captured San Francisco today than that.

Hideous!!

"The sculpture, named "R-Evolution"..first debuted at Burning Man in 2015.

Additionally, the statue has the ability to simulate breathing for an hour each day and will be illuminated at night."

Should have burned it to the ground at "Burning Man!"

The Palace of Fine Arts, 3301 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94123, one of the remaining structures showcased in the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, has a modern version of carytids atop some of the pillars. I wandered through it in the 1980s.

Hard to see how a naked female statue will straighten out the ferries that visit San Francisco,

From “45 Communist Goals” by Dr. Cleon Skousen (1958):

COMMUNIST GOAL #22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

16 internal motors allow the sculpture’s chest to move and at night, she will glow. Cochrane, the artist from Petaluma, said the statue symbolizes feminine strength, presence and liberation.

From Gulliver’s Travels, when he visits the land of the giants:

“That which gave me most uneasiness among these maids of honour (when my nurse carried me to visit then) was, to see them use me without any manner of ceremony, like a creature who had no sort of consequence: for they would strip themselves to the skin, and put on their smocks in my presence, while I was placed on their toilet, directly before their naked bodies, which I am sure to me was very far from being a tempting sight, or from giving me any other emotions than those of horror and disgust: their skins appeared so coarse and uneven, so variously coloured, when I saw them near, with a mole here and there as broad as a trencher, and hairs hanging from it thicker than packthreads, to say nothing farther concerning the rest of their persons. Neither did they at all scruple, while I was by, to discharge what they had drank, to the quantity of at least two hogsheads, in a vessel that held above three tuns. The handsomest among these maids of honour, a pleasant, frolicsome girl of sixteen, would sometimes set me astride upon one of her nipples, with many other tricks, wherein the reader will excuse me for not being over particular. But I was so much displeased, that I entreated Glumdalclitch to contrive some excuse for not seeing that young lady any more.

“aggressive ugliness” has been the Frisco motto for decades (sometime after we moved out — thank Gawd).
