Mansplaining: The Statue

Seriously? Dirty side of your shoe where people sit? With or without the female, that guy is a grade-a asshole.

The statue looks funny when you caption it “Mansplaining - The Statue”.

Do we really need to end world hunger and bring peace to the Middle East before we can have a fucking laugh about that?

Is that a Bingo square?

‘Admire my crotch, female of childbearing age!’

Also, there’s something seriously wrong with his butt.

My favourite is the tomb of Victor Noir in Paris, where most of those ‘thousand of hands’ were not actually hands:

It’s been described as ‘lewd rubbing’. Make of that what you will.

The Interwebs has hundreds of examples of these… http://www.worldsworsttourist.com/bremen06/images/image033.jpg

Isn’t “lewd rubbing” where you out a piece of paper over your… And, ummm… Charcoal. And you…

Never mind.

You can urinate on the walls in Japan? That’s my idea of heaven.

Weirdly, I’ve seen that statue, and I’ve seen tourists doing that. But for some reason I didn’t notice how polished they were.

That said, as sculptural norks go, they’re up there. I can understand the temptation - but luckily I have a superego.

Why is it that the people who go on about others being “offended” are always the most easily offended themselves, getting super worked up over silly jokes?

The hell?

That’s even worse than the one in the OP. Jeebus.

I’m realizing from the responses that follow that I may not have understood your post. I thought your term “Rorschach outrage” was referring to MRAs, as there had been a few posts before yours talking about them. Are you saying that it’s feminists who are manufacturing an outrage about this statue?

I think that statue is providing lap dances, as it were.

That’s clearly a tank, you fool.

Bench of vice? That’s not gonna be any use at all for gluing wood joints and so forth. Did this idiot not read the brief?

Considering he liked the post of the “Why aren’t you caring about ___” troll upthread, yes.

You have to understand, there’s a lot of people who are easily coddled and just can’t take a joke. They whip up outrage at the slightest things, trying to turn even the littlest bit of humor and twist it into their politics. It seems that poor @shaddock is one of them, taking even the slightest bit of joking at a statue with aggressive body language as something to get deeply offended and upset over.

Also, pretty funny that 7etoatreides in another thread was outright spreading lies to justify murder. Mr “Why bother with real issues” actually tries to sabotage those, too.
