The Sun’s resident snowflake moans about world famous art from Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci for objectifying women and aggressive men
THE easel-y offended should look away now. . .
Busybody bosses at Manchester Art Gallery this week took down JW Waterhouse’s Hylas And The Nymphs – which depicts bare-breasted mythological creatures.
Here, our sensitive soul JON SNOWFLAKE gives other masterpieces the brush-off in his “gallery”.
The Birth of Venus - Sandro Botticelli
AN example of sexual objectification that is totally at odds with what I consider acceptable in today’s society.
A woman can do what she wants with her body – as long as it’s not stripping.
The Scream - Edward Munch
THIS image blatantly trivialises mental illness and is not appropriate in our hyper-anxiety-aware times.
Millions suffer from different conditions that should not be made light of.
How about taking it down and replacing it with a safe space instead?
A Bold Bluff - Cassius Marcellus Coolidge
A SENSELESS depiction of animal exploitation, as I am sure the RSPCA would agree.
It was painted more than a hundred years ago, but that’s no excuse.
This thoughtless image is no laughing matter.
It could easily give pet owners the idea that it is acceptable to make your dog sit upright at a table and gamble using card games. Simply disgusting.
La Trashison Des Images - Rene Magritte
“THIS is not a pipe”, claims Magritte.
Oh yes it is – and it’s glamorising smoking.
To display an image in a public place which celebrates a toxic habit is totally irresponsible. Shameful.
The Toilet of Venus - Diego Velasquez
YET another example of an unrealistic body image.
This woman is clearly a size 8 and not the UK national average of 16.
Replace her with a proud, body-confident real woman this instant.
Statue of David - Michaelangelo
SEXUAL harassment of women may have – sadly – been acceptable in the 16th Century but it certainly is not in this day and age.
This man is aggressively and shamelessly exposing himself.
In my book, that makes him no better than Harvey Weinstein.
The Kiss - Gustav Klimt
IS this consent? It doesn’t look like it.
We can’t be certain, so the painting should be taken down immediately just to be on the safe side.
This image clearly symbolises male chauvinistic behaviour.
Remember, everybody – no means no.
And that includes non-verbal cues.
