Scene: You're a woman, sitting on a bench reading a book. Your male friend sees you on the quad and comes over to say hello and talk. You put down your book, lean back against the bench and smile. He doesn't sit next to you; instead, he puts his foot on the bench and leans over his knee.
So sexist, right?
That scene is depicted in a statue at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, and despite no sign of distress or physical assertion, some women have decided it is a statue of "mansplaining" — a term used to describe men condescendingly explaining something to a woman.
Seriously. Here's the actual statue and the claim of misogyny:

They do it just because. It’s like click bait, IRL.
B@tches are NEVER happy!
“Now see here you bronze clad clopper....”
These harpies can’t relate to this innocuous piece because they have ever had a man interested in talking to them.
OK, fine - I’ll sit right next to you as “an equal”,
and then you’ll complain that I’m making you turn your neck to talk to me.
Well, yeah, that - and sammiches & shirt ironing.
Are the feminists upset over moozlums raping, murdering, stoning and generally abusing women??????
I think it is called the “make me a sammich” exhibition.
Setting aside this controversy for a moment, I’m not sure why they would have that statue in the first place. “Hey, let’s commission a statue of two students chatting at a park bench.” ???
The statue is also heterosexist because it suggests that male-female relationships are the norm. Destroy it!
That would be considered "rape," of course.
Regardless of the feminazi problem with it, it’s an ugly-ass statue anyway.
micro-aggressive rape, but rape nonetheless
I wonder if they understand why males and females are different?
-——Your male friend sees you on the quad and comes over to say hello and talk. You put down your book, lean back against the bench and smile———
In the feminist sick twisted world view, you cannot have a “male” friend...unless they are homos
All men are rapist...
The male in the statue is a predator.... Not your friend....
The feminists miss the point entirely on this. The person on the bench is actually a transgender male, and the person standing is a transgender female. These critics are demonstrating extraordinary intolerance not to be supportive of these individuals as they act out these reverse gender roles.
Nailed it!
Very and exceedingly, perceptive!
