“She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.”
please add the cardboard tube to that whacky list of imagined phallic symbols.
“...they attempted to tear down the statue with a cardboard tube at 1:30 a.m. the morning after it was built.”

Oh my... her fingers and toes are phallic symbols too!
I agree that the snow 'erection' is not appropriate in public spaces. But the list of typical feminist rants of "oppresion" illustrates the derainged mindset of it's menbers.

“As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere,” she said.”
It’s not pornography it’s art. You know, like the “Vagina Monologue.”
“Men think they have the right to force that on you,” she said. “It’s a logical extension.”
Some men think they have a right to rape, but the majority don’t. This comment reflects the prejudice of a bigoted mind, and the ongoing effort to demonize all men because of the actions of a few.
Oh my, I forgot some Women’s Studies curriculums teach that all heterosexual relations are the #1 oppressor of women, and I have even heard it said that some radical feminist preach that all sex between a woman and a man is rape. Is this the perception that this “feminist” holds?
"Women’s Studies Lecturer Diane L. Rosenfeld, who teaches Women, Violence and the Law this semester, said that the implications of the snow phallus go beyond the legitimacy of the statue’s presence.
“The ice sculpture was erected in a public space, one that should be free from menacing reminders of women’s sexual vulnerability,” Rosenfeld wrote in an e-mail yesterday."
Title IX sets forth that sexual harassment is in the eyes of the beholder, and that sexual harassment is based on what a reasonable woman would assume.
Oh my, forget everything I said above I’m just a man. I forgot you have to have rights before you can exercise them. As men we’re all just 2nd class citizen’s that the equal protection and equal justice spoken of in the U. S. constitution doesn’t apply to. Any freedom of expression that men still have will soon be taken away by the fascist onslaught of feminazi indoctrination going on in the Women’s Studies programs in our colleges. These Women’s Studies programs are the seedbeds of the feminist bigotry that goes on to become policy and law (like Title IX). They are like a cancer eating away at any semblance of gender justice or gender equality in our society. As one sign that I have says, “FEMINIST LIES MAKE BAD LAWS.”

"a public space, one that should be free from menacing reminders of women’s sexual vulnerability,..."
If that's true, then to be fair and equal about it they're going to have to stop all those women who wear mini-skirts -- once the weather warms up, of course -- from doing so. It's both "menacing" and "reminder-ing" (to me at least). I think the style popular in certain parts of the Middle East would solve the problem...

Absolutely, if we're going to apply this standard equally, society will have to cover up a whole lot more female nudity that's out there than male nudity that's out there. But then, when has social justice ever considered men in the gender equaltiy equation.
The naked female form has always been worshiped and revered in art and literature far more than masculine imagery.
Perhaps some other cultures are right to point out that Westerners are decadent and sex obsessed. It appears the abuse of women toward men is not as great in some other cultures as it is right here in good old America.

The "O" in the "NOW" symbol is clearly a vaginal symbol (and it makes the whole symbol look rather weird). That symbol has been displayed on placards and websites that may be visible to minors. How is that appropriate?
Such hypocrisy.

To the feminist eye, ANYTHING that is long is a phalic symbol.
Here in the mid west, where I live, there are ICE CYCLES hanging from just about everything, includeing the houses. Maybe the fembots should sue every one in my neighborhood for displaying "phalic symbols".
And why stop there? Maybe they should go into every cave in the world and destroy all the stalagtites and stalagmites. you've got "phalic symbols" EVERYWHERE, in caves. Oh, and they'll have to cut down every TREE in the world.
These feminists are ridiculous. No, sublime.
Maybe we men should start protesting any thing depicting or resemleing FEMALE private parts.
How 'bout we protest the pirimids in Egypt? They look like women's breasts. Or the swiss alps. Oh, and we MUST protest the grand canyon, too.
(use your imagination.)
I agree that an ice-penis (snicker) is in poor taste, But these adrophobic fems see EVERYTHING as "male opression". sticks, towers, buildings, a rhinoseros, cucumbers, snakes, telephone poles, a key, brooms, Godzilla's tail, chocolate cake, milk of magnesia, the wind, Iggy Pop, Big bird, Peewee Herman, Fig Newtons...,
Whatever you've got feminists will find a way to see a penis in it.
Maybe we should start referring to feminists as 'Peniphobes'.
LOL, You fembots need to take your medicine and quit seeing gender issues everywhere. *sheesh*
Thundercloud.

I have a feeling that if the Campus Womyn's Center For Vaginal Oppression made a snow vulva, it would be a stirring symbol of strength, hope and solidarity for all the disenfranchised and oppressed people of the world.

Here's what I sent them:
I was disappointed to see that almost all the comments on the story were from insecure feminists without any rebuttal to their ludicrous claims. You can't call one piece of anatomy, by itself, pornographic. The snow penis is being force upon them? How, were these women picked up and dropped on it by frat boys? The Washington Monument and missiles are phallic symbols? Please. Next thing they'll want to chop down all the offending shrubbery on campus, because we all know that a bush is an innuendo and nothing more.
If these "activists" need something to do, why don't they do something about the disparity in funding between breast and prostate cancer research. The disparity being that prostate cancer kills about as many men as breast cancer kills women each year, yet receives a fraction of the funding. Or if you'd rather start small, how about calling up Progressive and tell them you'll never buy insurance from them because of their obscene adds. The "Girlfriend" add features a woman who tortures a man with a voodoo doll, and in one version, she takes a pair of clippers to his testicles.

Stop signs, telephone poles, trees, door knobs, hot dogs, sausages, brooms, bananas, power tools, racing bicycle seats (no wonder fish don't ride them). I see penises. They're everywhere. They're everywhere. The world is so oppressive to women.

I particularily loved the part how they were able to slip in that the girl was a rape victim. What a load of shit, anything to insert agenda and propaganda. Some of these chicks couldn't get raped if they tied the guy down first and shoved his yap full of viagra.

It's possible she was a real rape victim, but considering how many feminists consider all heterosexual relations as rape it's entirely possible that this alleged rape victim had sex with a man once and he didn't call back. Hence the terrible experience of it all.
"anything to insert agenda and propaganda."
Right on Dan. The feminist mentality of seeing abusive symbols and abusive contact with men everywhere appears so often in their rhetoric it would be wrong not to call it a modus operandi, a pattern of behavior, of feminists.
The longer we can keep the light on these cock roaches, the longer they'll stay out of the spaces decent people go.

I happen to know many, many women who like "cock". That women's studies prof shows how they operate in class.
What was that movie? ClockWork Orange. Where they used horrible images of crime to deterr him. Well its the same indoctrination method.
I wish like hell I could sign up for one of those classes.

Some men dared to build it. Some men dared to stand up to the deranged feminist evil that dominates our society.
They are noble leaders. They stood up to a dominant paradigm of evil. We are going to win.

OK, so it was snow, and it was an endeaver by young college students. What I din't agree with was the young woman that tried to physcoanalyze the entire population of Harvard. I read the article, and she stated that it was offensive to everyone, and that is why she, and her friend, destroyed it. Perhaps, it is only because she, and her friend were threatened, that they took action. Penis envy, or fear of reality? I don't know, but, I know very few men that would destroy a snow sculpture of a vagina! And then try to make a political statement out of it!

The Battery Tunnel is an outrage to men's activists, who are reminded by the tunnel of the power that women often deny they have. Are there other architectural structures recalling the female genitalia, about which men's activists could express the kind of fatuously self-indulgent outrage approaching the level of the Harvard undergraduates cited in the article on the snow penis? Of course there are! The Holland Tunnel is another example. Now it could be argued that men and not women built these concrete and steel vaginas, but this is a sore reminder that men have to do the difficult, dangerous jobs. The tunnels should be sealed off! Likewise, the entire subway system is demeaning both to men and women, on account of its obtuse Freudian symbolism.

"Are there other architectural structures recalling the female genitalia,"
All entry ways could be construed to be representative of the female genitalia. Doors therefore would be the biggest culprit, but windows would also be suspect. Electrical conduits, water pipes, duct work, sewer lines are all constant reminders to men of the vagina using the same twisted logic that feminist use.
But here's the real smoking gun for all American men and women, the filling station.
We already know guys are too insensitive to appreciate the subtleties and nuances of these analogies so I'll just leave them out like the feminists routinely do. Besides, Title IX clearly states that sexual harassment is based on what a "reasonable woman" would assume. Nowhere is a "reasonable man" even mentioned. With bigoted feminist laws like Title IX it's no wonder there's no respect for American law anywhere in the world, but primarily in America.
I have digressed. Let me get back to the gas station analogy. What could be more shocking then pulling up to the gas pump and then having an attendant (usually male) say, "fill er up?" Naturally what he does next is an abomination in the eyes of feminists everywhere. He takes the gas pump nozzle (Phallic Representation) and inserts it in the filler opening and pipe going to the gas tank (Vagina). He then pumps and pumps until the tank is topped off (Sexual Intercourse). Of course there are some who only put in a buck or two and that could be analogous to male early ejaculation. It is mind boggling to think of the pain a feminist must endure when she pulls up to a self service pump and is forced to commit this humiliating ordeal herself. I can hear her NOW, "I was forced to mentally rape myself at a gas station today." This could be the next rallying cry for oppressed feminists everywhere. It makes about as much sense as many of the things they have already done.
What a minute, what about eating. If feminists were really serious about phallic representations they would at least go on a partial hunger strike, because their mouths must remind them too much of their vaginas and eating things like hot dogs and bananas would be just too demeaning.
Is there no end to the abuse that women must endure, or rather, is there just no end to the insanity and contrived excuses that pheminuts come up with to assault the intelligence and common sense of the majority of people living in the world?

What I found unpleasant in the article was the implication that penises are "menacing reminders of women’s sexual vulnerability".
When I went through school I noticed that when gender was mentioned, men
were referred to in a rather particular way. Maleness was primarily mentioned in a context of "demeaning to women", "violence" etc. This article is in line with that attitude, defining the anatomy that all males are born with as a symbol of rape.
The prevalence of the attitude in the education sector hinders the ability of men to form a constructive gender identity and sexuality. There are broadly three ways boys can respond to this.
They can embrace the dominant view of male sexuality, but maintain their humanity by rejecting their sexuality. They can embrace the evil of their sexuality at the cost of their fundamental sense of humanity and morality. Or they can reject the school systems negative view of their sexuality, likely leading to them seeing the school as a hostile working environment and harming their performance.
To me all of these coping strategies seem to be harmful. No doubt girls have psychological issues regarding their self-image such as the slut/frigid catch-22, anorexia and so. However teenagers of both genders have had self-image problems since the first zit. Girl’s self-image problems are therefore not caused by “the patriarchy”, even if it arguably aggravates their problem. Thus the appropriate solution should be to present a positive sexuality for both genders rather than use one gender as a scapegoat for the others insecurities.

You are obviously missing the point. They know very well they can use that imagery to promote healthy attitudes for the sexes. That is not their goal. They are in fact doing what they want and achieving their goal.
If you thought circumcision was bad I wonder how long it will be before cutting off the baby boy's genitals alltogether. Seeing the glee in the eyes of those standing around.
Everything about those people is a lie, their research, their opinions.
They have been working very hard at creating a wedge between men and women. Its their lifes goal. Don't give me that crap about Justice for Women, because justice isn't based on a foundation of lies.

http://duke.usask.ca/~niallm/233/Aristotl.htm (emphasis and italics mine)
"Again, the license of the Lacedaemonian women defeats the intention of the Spartan constitution, and is adverse to the happiness of the state. For, a husband and wife being each a part of every family, the state may be considered as about equally divided into men and women; and, therefore, in those states in which the condition of the women is bad, half the city may be regarded as having no laws.
"And this is what has actually happened at Sparta; the legislator wanted to make the whole state hardy and temperate, and he has carried out his intention in the case of the men, but he has neglected the women, who live in every sort of intemperance and luxury. The consequence is that in such a state wealth is too highly valued, especially if the citizen fall under the dominion of their wives, after the manner of most warlike races, except the Celts and a few others who openly approve of male loves. The old mythologer would seem to have been right in uniting Ares and Aphrodite, for all warlike races are prone to the love either of men or of women. This was exemplified among the Spartans in the days of their greatness; many things were managed by their women.
"But what difference does it make whether women rule, or the rulers are ruled by women? The result is the same. Even in regard to courage, which is of no use in daily life, and is needed only in war, the influence of the Lacedaemonian women has been most mischievous. The evil showed itself in the Theban invasion, when, unlike the women other cities, they were utterly useless and caused more confusion than the enemy."
(Women in ancient times actually took up arms to defend their cities alongside the men? Wonderful! I suppose the feminists will start sending in their draft cards then!)
"This license of the Lacedaemonian women existed from the earliest times, and was only what might be expected. For, during the wars of the Lacedaemonians, first against the Argives, and afterwards against the Arcadians and Messenians, the men were long away from home, and, on the return of peace, they gave themselves into the legislator's hand, already prepared by the discipline of a soldier's life (in which there are many elements of virtue), to receive his enactments. But, when Lycurgus, as tradition says, wanted to bring the women under his laws, they resisted, and he gave up the attempt.
"These then are the causes of what then happened, and this defect in the constitution is clearly to be attributed to them. We are not, however, considering what is or is not to be excused, but what is right or wrong, and the disorder of the women, as I have already said, not only gives an air of indecorum to the constitution considered in itself, but tends in a measure to foster avarice."

- "As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere", she said. Keel said that her personal experience as a rape survivor makes this statue even more uncomfortable to observe. "Men think they have the right to force that on you," she said. "It’s a logical extension."
No it isn't, you're just obsessed with cocks. Anything to do with dicks and you automatically confuse it with rape because you are not over the assault. The society we live in will give you little reason to ever transcend this befuddled point of view, which is even sadder than this whole fiasco.
- Women’s Studies Lecturer Diane L. Rosenfeld, who teaches Women, Violence and the Law this semester, said that the implications of the snow phallus go beyond the legitimacy of the statue’s presence. "The ice sculpture was erected in a public space, one that should be free from menacing reminders of women’s sexual vulnerability," Rosenfeld wrote in an e-mail yesterday. She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles. "Women do not need to be reminded of the power of the symbol of the male genitalia," Rosenfeld said. "My guess is that they are constantly reminded of it in daily messages."
Uh huh, another one who thinks that EVERYTHING IS A DONG. Even Freud said that sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. This is the kind of joke my friends and I might get a lot of laughs out of, and I guarantee that "demeaning women" would not cross our minds. Why do these dames have to think EVERY LAST THING IN THE UNIVERSE revolves around them?
You know what, if someone made snow tits or a snow vulva, the feminists would find out the gender of the people who made it. If it was women, it would be "an affirmation." If it was men, it would be "degrading."
