The Marilyn Monroe Statue unveiling drew tons of protesters who called it a misogynistic eyesore.
Emiliana Guereca
, executive director of Women's March Foundation, told the Desert Sun,"When you exit the museum, the statue is designed to look at her crotch and look at her buttocks and take photos. And that is no longer acceptable." She added,"It may have been acceptable in the 1950s, but we are in 2021 fighting the same thing and women are saying enough is enough."
Remember, while the statue is based on a scene from Marilyn's movie,"The Seven Year Itch" ... there was apetition floating around demanding the statue's removal because folks claimed it encouraged upskirting and, by extension, predatory behavior. Other protesters took issue with the statue's location ... saying that it should have been installed at one of the downtown parks and NOT in front of the museum that forced the closure of a street that led up to the museum.
