Statue in honor of Mary Wollstonecraft receives mixed reactions (1 Viewer)

A lot of people are upset that it isn't a depiction of her and instead that it's a naked woman. I personally don't see the problem, what do you guys think?

It's showing a woman standing proud
I see no problem either

There's plenty of old and not old statues of men with their dicks out, they can deal with some naked women as well

why should they care if shes naked ? women are hot

Okay, I see both sides. But I'm for it.

I see it's supposed to be empowering. And below the statue it says "I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves." What I see is a naked woman who chose to be naked, and her body language is so powerful.

Now, people may have concerns about, I don't know, idiots taking disrespectful pictures with the statue. Or maybe Mary never talked about nudity, I don't know. And if this were made decades ago it probably wouldn't look like this.

But I feel like it's appropriate in this day and age.

I mean if the statue wasn't dedicated for her I wouldn't have too many criticisms of it but since it is my question is: What does a naked woman on a cloud thing have to do with Mary Wollstonecraft? There seems to be no message or connection to the author so the statue just appears random and pointless.

But I also just think the full statue is ugly lmao. Like it'd been better if it was just the woman's figure because that's the only part I liked about it because the figure appears really well done and beautiful but whatever she's standing on is just....
