But as we also know many women who are sick of being sexualised and sexually harrassed, maybe not having statues of naked women all over the place would be a respectful thing for society to consider?

I'm with you on that last bit though.

    Viewing women as decorative sexualised objects is harmful and promotes sexual harrassment.

    Having a bunch of statues around of naked women, promotes what perceptions?

    I propose we make more naked statues of not just women, but men as well. Hell let's so some intersex ones as well. Of course keep the women ones too

    It's a nice thought but the power imbalance is still too great for this not to have a negative impact.

    The bodies of women, intersex and trans folk are not considered neutral, so displaying them as naked statues doesn't and isn't going to illicit neutral responses from people.

    One day maybe though, in an ideal world.

    One statue in Denmark.

    All over the place.

    Sure.

    Are you under the impression that this is somehow the only public statue of a naked woman?

    After a slight bit of research it looks like there are around 60. Still not enough to be all over the place.
