This ditzy HuffPo "writer" didn't actually explain why it's being called sexist....she just says it is.

Dumb.

Great point, Ike. The man statue should stay and that HuffPo troll should be thrown in an oven.

Do you still need a roommate?

The 22-ton statue was moved to a Brooklyn cemetery in 2012 after various groups complained that it depicted Hercules trampling two figures — Vice and Corruption — which look like women. It had belonged to the borough since 1941.

So the people complaining about the statue are actually a collection of mentally handicapped insane people that have escaped from the loony bin.

Makes sense.
