Well if those countries are poor and underdeveloped, they should blame it on themselves, nit on others.<br /><br />The statue seems to depict a situation of a typical unfaithful men, who gets married, then his wife looses shape as a result of multiple pregnancies, stress, contraceptive drugs and poor quality life, then he does not want her anymore, but when he files for divorce, he has to carry an impossible financial burden of paying child support, spousal support plus the prostitute, since no decent woman would ever want to know him after he mistreated and left his wife with kids.<br /><br />So the poor skinny man feels burdened by women and justice...well c'est la vie, mon ami! And for women it is not any easier.Seraphinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-80373811464357993022009-12-11T16:00:25.000-05:002009-12-11T16:00:25.000-05:00The point is, it looks angry, ugly, and nothing li...The point is, it looks angry, ugly, and nothing like true art, which is supposed to be kind, beautiful and heartwarming. It is a very poorly made charicature, a true expression of the "artist's" internal ugliness.<br /><br />Well if someone enjoys seem ugly people in ugly poses and ridiculed, then it's for them, not for me.Seraphinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-43471597685729843432009-12-10T12:27:58.000-05:002009-12-10T12:27:58.000-05:00Seraphina - I really, REALLY think you have missed...Seraphina - I really, REALLY think you have missed the point.runesmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-88421710494357216102009-12-10T11:20:09.000-05:002009-12-10T11:20:09.000-05:00I find this statue just plain offensive. Offensive...I find this statue just plain offensive. Offensive to women, offensive to men, offemsive to first and the third world countries.<br /><br />Somehow I doubt that it really represents the worldwide imbalance between developed contries and the third worls. I think the author, like all unwise and incomplete men, is trying to imply that women exploit poor man, who have to work and pay spousal support due to (in)justice. Well, if he was a shit of a man and unfaithful and wrong to his wife, that's what it is. Guess what, women also have kids, house and enough other trouble on their sholders.<br /><br />Medical studies have shown that women gain weight not due to owereating, but due to digestion problems, which are frequently caused by unhappy marriages. Women, who are treated badly by their spouses are much more likely to have the disorder and gain weight. They also tend to overeat due to excessive stress caused by pressures of combining family and work life and abusive partners. Another cause is inability to watch their diet and exercise due to excessive family responsibilities, that men frequently do not share.Seraphinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-92067620381649761122009-12-09T10:20:09.000-05:002009-12-09T10:20:09.000-05:00"Justice" is considered female.

I think the intent is to contrast the image of Justicia to that of the Copenhagen mermaid, a famous bronze statue that's seen in the image above.<br />2. Think of the 'Monopoly' figure or other depictions of the 'capitalist male' and they're always depicted as obese.<br /><br />Hopefully that helps?Liamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-19991224262581175262009-12-09T01:54:23.000-05:002009-12-09T01:54:23.000-05:00Why is it always a fat woman.
