To show how sexual harassment leaves its mark, a women’s rights organization in Germany is drawing attention to statues of nude women, with breasts that are visibly lighter after years of being touched.

Its a statue. People like touching statues in odd places, take pictures with them that go way beyond what is acceptable to do with a real person. This isnt sexual harassment, what the fuck. It is an inanimate piece of metal.
They’re not saying that “groping” a statue is sexual harassment. They’re using the statues as a visual aid to talk about the real issue.
The three statues “visibly show the decades of assaults by passersby,” Terre des Femmes said.
Rape culture!
I can’t stop imagining how hilarious it would’ve ended if there was -5°C and he got stuck glued to the bull’s balls. Painful, but hilarious
oh no people disregard the feelings of inanimate objects!
seriously, this is like saying video games cause violence
That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.
Dozens of studies have been carried out over decades and every single one has shown that video games do not cause violence.
