Yes, some feminist Harvard students destroyed the giant snow willie. Here’s one of them owning up. The letter contains the classic and largely unanswerable statement: “No one should have to be subjected to an erect penis without his or her express permission or consent.” In writing? Even one that’s melting? And what about a flaccid one? The final money quote:
Many women and men, including myself, are the victims of sexual assault, child sexual abuse and rape. The unwanted image of an erect penis is an implied threat; it means that we, as women, must be subject to erect penises whether we like it or not. There was nothing ‘challenging’ or ‘subversive’ about the penis. The only thing it did was create an uncomfortable environment for the women of Harvard University.
Oh, please. Is the Washington Monument safe?
