  1. It’s a great photo, but I hate the way she gets groped by people. It’s so clear in the picture.

  2. She wheels her wheel barrow
    Though the streets broad & narrow
    Singin cockles & mussels & leave me tits alone

  3. Mindboggling to see people on here ‘offended’ by people touching Molly Malone. It’s a statue. There’s no such thing as “groping” an inanimate object.

  4. I think Brittany Broski put this perfectly recently on her podcast talking about statues of famous women (link below) saying:
    “A woman, like a beautiful statue of a woman, and it’ll be like she helped lead the way for so many refugees, or she was a nurse, or she was this, or she was just this, this pillar of society in her time, she was such an influential and powerful woman, and they’ll zoom in on her face, and they’ll zoom in on the plaque, and then they’ll zoom out and show a full body, and it’ll show that one of her breasts has been basically rubbed off, and it’s so shiny because all the tourists and you know, Whoever has touched her breast, and that’s now her legacy is, it’s the boob statue. I zoom out sometimes and I’m like, that is an art piece in and of itself, and art has now been repurposed to tell a larger story of that is now the story you know. Here’s a woman that dedicated her life to being a public servant and now forever entombed she’s now a sex object to be looked at, and ultimately, what she did with her life now is secondary to the fact that she’s got a rack. It’s like art. Art makes itself, and art is not always comfortable. It’s just, it’s sad at the end of the day.”
