The statue is made to be reminiscent of traditional fertility effigies and that conotation is impossible to miss. At the very least, it would take a lot of convincing for me to believe that the creator - a professional artist - missed that implication. It is deliberate. It may even have a message and a place in many artistic contexts. For this subject matter - if you've actually read anything she wrote on feminism - it is a complete gaff unless the intention was to be disrespectful of the person depicted and their writings.

An Oedipus reference doesn't fit this scenario at all by the way, neither in the literature context or as the psychological complex.
