A design for park gates in Scotland.
Artist asks are they female? twitter.com/defiaye/status/1426950743840395267?s=19

What on earth is going on in the heads of these post mod women.

I would not class that as art.

Are all arms of government in Scotland making a point of showing everyone they possibly can that they hate women?
I mean is this some kind of stance they have deliberatly taken up, for some reason they are keeping secret?

So "yoi think they are women's legs spread for sex because that is the obvious interpretation, well haha! They're not! They are actually an example of aggressive manspreading. We think it makes the park more feminine."

Why does a disembodied pair of spread legs in high heels give the park a "feminine vibe"?? Especially if we are also being invited to consider the assumption that the legs are representing a woman. If they could equally be regarded as male then what makes this image particularly feminine in the mind of the artist? It's contradictory nonsense.

The original piece of art that these legs came from, on display in an Icelandic museum, makes much more sense as a thought provoking piece about costume and gender stereotypes. Why did the council and the art organisation they paid for this feel that this "reworking" of the original makes a better statement about the same topic??

I saw mentioned that this is a park where a woman was raped recently...

TheWeeDonkey · 16/08/2021 10:40

So this is a park? A kiddies play park?

Reading the artist's comments a woman was recently (sexually?) assaulted there and the artist thought this is a good idea?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It must take hell of a lot of education to be that clueless.

Disgusting. Imagine going to the park with your kids and seeing that 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

They've got a point - but it's a good dodge of the issue.
