I’m amazed people aren’t embarrassed doing this. Imagine if there was a publicly shaming sign too next to it.
Isn’t this a thing around the world? Like, some statues bring good luck if you rub a part of it?
Rubbing Molly brings back such happy mammaries for me..
You now feel offended for inanimate objects being touched inappropriately?
This is like the resurgence of the catholic faith, just under a different guise.
Might not be a question for this sub but was there not a specific reason people rubbed her breasts relating to an old tradition of rubbing the genitals of a statue for luck?
Its a statue, calm the fuck down.
I’ve always felt it highlighted the toxic way women are treated in this country. Whilst things have improved in recent years to a degree, we still have a long way to go
She was groped by a tourist,
Becos she looked heure-ish.
And that was the end for sweet Molly Malone.
Now she’s up on a piller.
Where we cannot feel-er.
And that cuckold from Brussels.
Just gropes his own pole.
It’s a shite statue
>A: We need a statue of a fictional historical character, Molly Malone
>A: Large breasts/cleavage completely out of step with any historical context – think “Barbara Windsor – Carry on Fishmonging”
As for
>Dublin City Council is “strongly considering” her request
Keeping it on file, in a filing cabinet no doubt
I look forward to looking up her dress instead.
Imagine thinking this was an issue that needed to be addressed. We have one of the most inefficient incompetent outfits in the country running Dublin , but they can find time and resources for this.
Tilly Cripwell, the busker and wouldbe protector of this statue sounds like a serious crank.
BOOO!
No good can come from putting a woman on a pedestal. Take it from someone who knows.
There are still prominent British-era monuments to imperialism in Dublin but the council don’t have the time or the funds to remove those…
Bunch of prudes
I watched clips of a Marina Abramović performance art, where she stood there for hours and didn’t stop people when they interacted with her. It was awful. In a way, I feel that poor Molly Malone statue is another version of that performance art.
Yes it’s just a statue, but it does reflect how a lot of people would treat a woman if she couldn’t say no.
Grabbed them jugs as a young teen. Harmless stuff
People saying it’s a women’s rights issue are idiots and you’re just trivialising violence towards actual women and making feminism look stupid.
The same oafish groping of statues happens with lots of other ones, male and female. This isn’t some sign of how women in Ireland are treated. Even if you are trying to link this behaviour to attitudes in Ireland…the VAST majority of people you see groping this statue are tourists.
Summary: Everyone involved is an idiot.
Not exactly the biggest issue we’re facing, and that money would be better off going to a woman’s refuge or something of the sorts. That being said, I do find the whole “tradition”, and the people who do it, quite strange
What weirdo creeps touch a statues boobs or genitals? You should be preemptively put on the sex offenders registry if caught doing that.
That’ll be 50 million please thanks
So Tilly is upset that a statue is more popular than her.
Popular tourist attraction that is touched for luck is being removed because silly Tilly is offended.
Good. I’m into feet and it was hurting my back having a sniff
Be cheaper if they wielded on a snood.
They should learn from Glasgow… pedestals do nothing when faced with the will of the people!
Apropos of nothing, Tilly is one of those upper middle class English names where you can almost guarantee the bearer of it is insufferable. Harriet is another one.
You’ve definitely met the type abroad on their gap yahr before they go to Durham University or Warwick to read French and Psychology.
Large tourist attraction versus outraged gobshite looking for attention.
No doubt DCC will do the wrong thing and give into her.
News headlines
Man injured following fall from Molly Malone while attempting to feel boobs.
Tourist had to be rescued from height after being found clinging to top of Molly Malone statue
We have children with scoliosis on waiting lists for treatment so long that their conditions have become inoperable. We’re experiencing the highest levels of homelessness ever seen in this country. We have dangerous criminals free to roam our streets because we do not have spaces in prison for them but people are worried about a pair of fucking copper tits. Jesus.fucking.chris!!!
A commemorative plaque explaining significance and legacy??? We don’t know who she was or if she even existed. Is it just gonna be song lyrics?
Unless it’s destroying or damaging the statue, it’s a waste of tax money.
The projected views of discriminationary behaviour is absurd, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of examples where local superstitions include touching areas on a statue for various reasons… I’d challenge anyone to present a shred of evidence or hard data and the superstitious behaviour has any correlation or causation with those that assault people.
Stick a camera and a screen up nearby that rotates though images of lads groping the statue instead
Local Roman carving rubbed for reasons 2000 years old. The written rock of gelt. Check out the 3D 😅
>A busker who has campaigned for the Molly Malone statue to be treated with more respect, says Dublin City Council is “strongly considering” her request to elevate the statue and keep her out of reach.
So she got PFOed
Poor molly
It’s a fucking statue… Thinking of all the door knobs that have been inappropriately touched over the years, how horrendous.
if you were going to raise it up high enough that people wont grope it then you might as well just get rid of it since you wouldnt be able to see it anyway
Taking offence at the sexualisation of an inanimate object that represents a fictional character. Grow up ffs.
