    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.
