Is groping statues of women harmless fun or deeply disrespectful?

[Phantomshadow77]

Do you think it’s not a big deal or do you think it’s disrespectful?

I groped Molly Malone's boob in Dublin while my wife took a photo. I don't think Molly minded.

I took a photo of my wife reaching up and caressing the La Giganta sculpture's ass in Guanajuato, Mexico.

One of my cousins posted a photo on Facebook of her cupping the Wall Street bull's balls when she was visiting New York. She had a look of awe on her face.

I don't think statues mind being fondled or objectified. LOL

It always kills a little bit of my hope to see this statue of a woman that did something incredible, like delivering medicine and saving hundreds, or made some kind of headway in legal rights for women or something, and there’s ALWAYS a shiny spot on her breasts because men keep thinking it’s funny to grope at a statue. I want to believe men are good, but so many of them see women as objects and don’t even try to become aware of that

[CriminallyInsane]

It's just a statue. People would do it to the statue of David if they could too. They're just being goofy because it's not real

[Phantomshadow77]

How would you feel if it was a statue of you?

[CriminallyInsane]

After I got done laughing at whoever wasted money building a statue of me, I'd shrug because surely I have other things to do and I'm not vain enough to watch my own statue all day. It's not the most mature thing to do but people do goofy things. It's a piece of metal and not a real me. Just don't damage it and I don't see anything wrong.

I think it's creepy AF. Bad taste. Poor judgement. But at the end of the day it's a piece of bronze or stone.

[Phantomshadow77]

It’s not just stone, it’s what it represents. It shows that the men who do it see women as objects, not full people.

[OneViewpoint]

Do men actually do that? I mean outside of joking around for the camera on vacation?

[FunkyMonkee]

Harmless fun!! what are you grabbing but a hunk of marble that just happens to be shaped like a woman's tit?
When I used to be in college, I'd have to walk past this tree every day that had a huge woman's tit sticking out of the top of the trunk! Paint it a skin tone and add the dark area on the nipple part and it would've looked just like a huge tit!! I felt it a few times over the years as I passed by. The tree probably liked it!

When feminism has run out of problems, it finds new ones.

[Phantomshadow77]

Have you’ve seen men’s rights activists?

[DryGermanGuy]

Only from very far away, it's usually about divorced fathers getting shared custody and enough visitations with their children.

Is shows the person has the mentality of a six year old.

[Mike_Hum]

I can think about 7 million things to be more concerned about than this.

Statue in both genders get molested and at times vandalized

[Phantomshadow77]

It’s equally wrong no matter what gender it is.

[Opinion Owner]

Absolutely

[888theGreat]

I think it shows people how big of an idiot they are and shows they are pervs with all women

[NathanDavis]

statues do not have feelings

[MrChinaski]

First World problems.

[exitseven]

no big deal. The statues like the attention.
