– Feminists in France are demanding that an iconic statue based on the
famous VJ-day photo is torn down because it ‘portrays a sexual assault’.
The sculpture is currently on display outside the Caen Memorial Museum
near Pegasus Bridge in Normandy. However, the statue – which is 25ft
tall and weighs 13 tonnes – has been criticised by French feminists who
claim it shows ‘an assault’.

The ‘Unconditional Surrender’ sculpture –nicknamed The Kiss –
shows a sailor kissing a woman while one arm is around her waist and
another supports her neck. French feminist group Osez Le Feminisme has
complained the statue represents a ‘sexual assault’ because the woman,
Greta Zimmer Friedman, had the kiss ‘forced upon her’ by the sailor. A
spokesman for Osez Le Feminisme said: ‘We cannot accept that the Caen
Memorial erected a sexual assault as a symbol of peace. We therefore
request the removal of this sculpture as soon as possible. The sailor
could have laughed with these women, hugged them, asked them if he could
kiss them with joy. No, he chose to grab them with a firm hand to kiss
them. It was an assault.’

Stephane Grimaldi, director of the Caen Memorial Museum, said the
woman in the photograph had always maintained she had been happy to have
been kissed. ‘She never considered that she was assaulted,’ he said.
The dental nurse has never made a complaint.

If you ever need one story to sum up why feminist groups are the
worst bunch of hypocrites in the world, this could be it. Did Greta
Zimmer Friedman ever think she was “assaulted” when she was kissed?
Nope. Has she ever said she wish it didn’t happen? Nope. Does she say to
this day that she was in fact happy that it happened? Yup. But none of
that is good enough for these feminists. They have to tell her that she
was assaulted. They have to tell her that she was kissed against her
will and that she hated it and that she’s probably never recovered from
such a traumatic experience.
That is exactly the problem with feminist groups like this: they
think it’s their duty to tell all other women how they should feel and
act and see the world. There’s no place in their narrow little sliver of
perspective for anyone to have any thoughts or opinions outside their
own. It’s why they hate girls that like being pretty and why that hate
us for saying that pretty girls are pretty. Women like these French
cunts aren’t feminists: they don’t want women to be able to live equally
and make their own choices. They’re just a bunch of frauds pushing
their own bizarrely fascist agenda.
PS: I’m pretty sure you can’t see up the statue’s skirt in the second
picture no matter how hard you try, but if someone finds an angle let
me know @EricBarstool

Feminists in France are demanding that an iconic statue based on the famous VJ-day photo is torn down because it ‘portrays a sexual assault’.
The sculpture, which honours a photograph of a kiss in Times Square that captured New York’s celebration as the Second World War ended, is currently on display outside the Caen Memorial Museum near Pegasus Bridge in Normandy.
It has been given to the museum on a one-year loan by the Sculpture Foundation in California to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

However, the statue – which is 25ft tall and weighs 13 tonnes – has been criticised by French feminists who claim it shows ‘an assault’.
The ‘Unconditional Surrender’ sculpture – which is also nicknamed The Kiss – shows a sailor kissing a woman while one arm is around her waist and another supports her neck.
French feminist group Osez Le Feminisme has complained the statue represents a ‘sexual assault’ because the woman had the kiss 'forced upon her' by the sailor.
The group, which has started a petition calling for it be removed, also claims the photographer who took the original photo – Alfred Eisenstaedt – said the sailor had grabbed and tried to kiss all the women around him before the shot was taken.
A spokesman for Osez Le Feminisme said: ‘We cannot accept that the Caen Memorial erected a sexual assault as a symbol of peace.

‘We therefore request the removal of this sculpture as soon as possible.
‘The sailor could have laughed with these women, hugged them, asked them if he could kiss them with joy.
‘No, he chose to grab them with a firm hand to kiss them. It was an assault.’
The petition has so far attracted more than 700 signatures. 
However, Stephane Grimaldi, director of the Caen Memorial Museum, said the woman in the photograph had always maintained she had been happy to have been kissed.
‘She never considered that she was assaulted,’ he said.
But feminists have claimed the woman - Greta Zimmer Friedman from Austria – has previously said she had been unable to escape.
In 2012, Ms Friedman said: 'I have not seen him approaching, and before I understand what is happening, I found myself gripped in a vice. You caught me. This man was very strong. I kissed it, it was he who kissed me.’
However, despite her recollection, the dental nurse has never made a complaint.
The historic black and white photograph was captured on V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day) on August 14, 1945 by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.
Sailor George Mendonsa has been identified as the man in the photo who kissed Ms Friedman in Midtown Manhattan as the nation celebrated the end of the conflict.
The picture was published by LIFE magazine and has become a symbol of the nation's joy at seeing an end to the devastating fighting that claimed the lives of more than 400,000 Americans.
Sculptor J. Seward Johnson Jr. said he created the giant piece of artwork, inspired by the photograph, because he wanted to keep the famous pose alive.
It was put in place in Normandy by cranes and construction crews on September 23.
The museum said it has no plans to remove the statue, which will stay on its current site for the next 12 months.
