Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

so why doesn't the statue have clothes on if it doesn't represent sex, its naked and pregnant so it represents the female sex.

To all those men who think that its wrong to have a topless woman statue in public... when you are on holiday, I presume you all wear tops at all time, otherwise, they would be a bit hypocritical wouldn't they?

Biologically male and female's chests are near-indentical. Everyone has breasts and nipples, because all feotuses when born, are female, before some which become male. The only visual difference is shape and size. Compare the chest of a girl with an A cup, and a bloke with a shaved test. You really think you could tell the difference?

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

what i can't understand is why people cannot be embarresed letting young children see naked statues.
yet they would be embarresed letting them see porno mags or films they both show nudity, statue or magazine or film.
personally i don't think young children should be able to see any of it naked statues mags or films.
when i was a child the innocence of the child was protected now nobody cares.
all for the sake of pc or reallity

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

So all those nudes in all the galleries painted by grand Masters are filth and disgusting?Or is it because it is of a disabled woman and you hate such people being shown?If you had accused the artist who produced the work of pandering to a freak show I would understand your attitude but to say that nakedness is not art when so many artists across the generations have used nudes and have had their work accepted by their peers..I'm having a hard time understanding your attitude.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

lol So a statue of a nude man you would automatically think of sex? :rolleyes:

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

....anyway - I just had a look at the pictures on the bbc site and I quite like it.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

in my opinion a statue of a naked man would be just as disgusting and should not be on display in trafalgar square

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Sigh! So Michelangeloâââ€à …¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s David is to be avoided at all costs?

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

1 i have never said i was disgusted by this statue of a naked women because of her disabilities.
2 no i do not think these paintings by the grand masters are disgusting but they are in the right places, art galleries.not trafalgar square.
3 yes i do think that children under 16 should not be allowed to see them.
if only to try and bring some decency and morals back to this country

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

LMAO I can't believe people are so prudish over a naked statue!!

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

if it was in trafalgar square, yes.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Woah there! I'm not saying she cannot be represented in art! I just think that Trafalguar square isn't the place for a statement like that.....

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Well good luck with that! :p::p::p:

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

its not just the statue its society in general and the lack of morals and common decency i object to.
and a naked statue in trafalgar square is not going to help.
