Some things are simple. People think because they enjoy sex they’re pro-sex. No. If you’re pro-sex you don’t get upset about nude representations of the body. If you do your excuses are bull**** and a thousand words don’t change the truth. Same with almost every subject discussed here. **** always gets convoluted in bull**** justifications.

If I wasn’t ok with the statue I’d admit I wasn’t pro-sex but no one else is ever capable of doing that. It’s always wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

Know what really burns me up about that picture? Somebody put graffiti on the Sycamore tree.

I like more classical styles in art and sculpture. It looks like someone cared enough to put a face mask on Jane. What I like about the statue is how Jane Austen is pressing a book close to her heart - such sweet sentiment.

It wasn't until feminism emerged that this started to change. Celebrating a feminist by again putting the emphasis on the female form seems diametrically opposite of what feminism would like to achieve. :/
X2 adidass. That is a very clear explanation.

Pussy is good.
To me, this looks true, but not relevent.

That's not what adidasss, or me, or anyone in this thread is saying.

Nope. And it doesn't become this because you say so multiple times. Re-read what we've said please.

I get it. Every single objection is about the nudity. Y’all are uptight and not down with the human body and try to justify your anti-sex message with fake feminism.
