I like it, why is it controversial?

[DemolitionRed]

It says "man is stronger than woman"

I can see why its controversial but I think its great.

[Withano]

Tbf if it says man is stronger than woman, then it also says man is 15ft tall. I think its ugly, not offensive, perhaps I can see why people would call it both.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its like a Jeff Koons

[Niamh.]

It actually reminded my of the water lift scene in Dirty Dancing :fan:

I don't think it's that controversial?
Theres nothing to suggest that thats a mans arm?

[Marsh.]

My god, people will take offence at anything. So pathetic.

The bicep is male

[Marsh.]

It says man is lifting woman, it's not stating men are stronger.

Even though they are, let's be real. :smug:

also if you are going to lift a woman make sure she is naked and quite fit

so its educational for schoolkids

Not where it counts - mentally. If physical strength counted for much elephants would rule the world! :dance:

Yep, that's why all of the strongest leaders of the world are.... men. :smug:

Really, got more to do with ego and power trips. Women have more sense!

Proof?

I would like to know more about the sculptor - likely male.

In your dreams. :joker:

Also in an area that is very heavily populated by Saudis it could be seen as something more sinister?

I am sure its not but who knows :shrug:

It would be interesting to know, maybe Saudi money could be behind it. If that were the case that would make it offensive knowing how they view women.

[smudgie]

Meh.

[Marsh.]

[Niamh.]

I was thinking about Jodie when someone said it was a male bicep shsjsj

[Crimson Dynamo]

Jodie does not take steroids and as such could never achieve that bicep or tricep, its a male one
