    Her heart's in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

    For example:

    "Youth" (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

    "Adam and Eve", Monaco

    Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

    And more that aren't as famous I'm sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.

    Of all the traditions one could use to point out objectification of women, statues was not it. People really do just like getting frisky with statues, regardless of gender

    To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.

    Dude's Wikipedia Page is rather interesting. He got shot by Prince Pierre Bonaparte over a proxy duel.

    I've never heard anyone say Prince Pierre Bonaparte didn't shoot Ronald McDonald. Do with that (lack of) information what you will.

    The post's statue looks cursed as fuck. The guy looks dead and violated. It's worse than the shiny bull balls.

    Just need another seat for the saddle. It's also horrible that people do this to Victor's grave.

    See, when someone identifies a problem, instead of everyone choosing to do worse, we can all do better.

    But it's moot. This is just divisive rage bait from a bot farm. No one cares about either of these people, but it reinforces the "women are crazy feminists" rhetoric that makes it so easy to radicalize young men into incels.

    People see men fondling a stature: "Hah! What a hilarious pervert." People see a woman stradling a statue: "She must want children."
