A Viral Response to Dr. Charlotte Proudman's Challenge Regarding Statues
British lawyer and academic Dr. Charlotte Proudman posted a challenge on social media asking for an example of a statue of a man where women rub its testicles as a matter of tradition. The post, which included an image of a man touching the chest of a female statue, was met with a series of visual rebuttals. Internet users responded by creating a meme featuring Rick Sanchez from 'Rick and Morty' presenting various real-world examples of statues of men that are traditionally touched in intimate areas by visitors, effectively countering the premise of her question.
we really are doing this today.
this reminds me of when my uncle took me to a landmark on a school trip and insisted i touch a specific bronze figure for good luck. i honestly thought it was just a local prank, but seeing this reminds me how bizarre some traditions really are.
i honestly think we could all use a little more grace and kindness when we talk to each other online, regardless of the topic. 🤍
Focusing on the gender of the statue rather than the tacky superstition itself is just performative outrage. Honestly both sides are missing the point that touching random bronze bits for good luck
Well, I’m not a statue, but mom ops has done that to me a few times.

She said one. If it's more than one, then it's invalid..
What a lack of cultural knowledge. Like half the countries have a statue like that.
to compare boobs and testies in this context is already stupid imo....women am i right?
Haha benis
It's just so crazy how stuck-up people are. How do we make people by having sex but it's bad to talk about shit that is involved with sex...
