They can’t bare it.
A monument honoring “mother of feminism” Mary Wollstonecraft was unveiled in London Tuesday — and immediately sparked backlash for containing a statue of a nude, toned female form.
The silver sculpture erected in Newington Green shows a small, naked woman emerging from a swirling mass of bronze, apparently meant to represent the pioneering 18th-century writer’s spirit.
The monument was the result of 10 years of work from Mary on The Green campaign, which raised the close to $190,000 required to get the sculpture made,

She could have done with a Brazilian Wax.
You noticed that too.
Please pick up the white courtesy phone...
Is anyone else going to mention the fact that she’s been “re-imagined” (”ret-conned”?) as a black woman?
Well “she” has got a heck of bulge, and Mike 0bama is already jealous.
Leave It To BEAVER. With Mary Wollstonecraft as the BEAVER.
After 10 yrs, and $190k... That’s it? I would be upset that it’s so plain, if any of my money had been involved.
Grow a pair, Whoppie!
I’m not impressed by the sculpture, but why not invite Joe and let him sniff her head hair, then make a decision.
... could always tear it down ...
Nothing says “Don’t objectify women” like ... making an idol/object of them and literally putting it on a pedestal.
Its a pretty awful, amateur statue really.
And moreover it has nothing to do with what she did.
She wrote Frankenstein, which is far more than the basis for monster movies. It is an influential, and some say prophetic novel of ideas. None of these ideas, btw, are feminist, they are on a much grander scale than that. Which is a puzzlement as to why she is seen as some sort feminist.
Looks like something Dr. Frankenstein came up with.
“My...That’s quite an erection”......
Feminists: Don’t objectify women’s bodies.
Feminists: Place nude object commemorating their founder, which bears no physical resemblance to the woman, in London.
If ever there was a statue that needed pulled down.

“Hambling described herself as “lesbionic” (her adjective).[30] She formed a relationship with a fellow artist,[31] Victoria (“Tory”) Dennistoun, from a family of horse racing jockeys and trainers,[32] who was married to John Lawrence (later Lord Oaksey), aristocrat and horse racing journalist. Lord and Lady Oaksey’s “marriage broke up in unhappily public fashion in the mid-1980s”.[33] Tory Lawrence and Hambling have been together ever since, living in a cottage near Saxmundham in Suffolk.[34] The house was left to Hambling by Lady Gwatkin (Isolen Mary June Wilson), widow of Norman Gwatkin.
For the last year of the life of Henrietta Moraes, she and Hambling were in a relationship. The artists’ model, Soho muse, and memoirist died in 1999 and Hambling produced a posthumous volume of charcoal portraits of her.[35]”
Total grifter. Runs around hooking up with old ladies about to die, then cashes in.
