You know how Roman statues were actually painted bright colors? In ancient times pubes were actually glued onto the groins of sculpted figures, unfortunately with weathering over time most of these sculptures lost their pubes

Not Roman, Greek. The Greek sculptures were painted. Roman sculptors found the Greek marble beautiful without paint, and didn’t paint theirs.

Wikipedia disagrees: Roman Sculpture

Most statues were actually far more lifelike and often brightly colored when originally created; the raw stone surfaces found today is due to the pigment being lost over the centuries.

One of Ceasar’s statue was found to have pigment residues. You can find an image of how it would’ve looked like when it was painted.

I think it was the renaissance sculptors that did that, not the romans.

They talk about male statues as well in the article, I don’t know why the title fixated on women.

Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.

In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.

If it had been the other way around (pubes on women and non on men), I bet you this article would’ve complained about that too. It’s just ragebait for feminists looking for a reason to be offended.

You didn’t even read it, did you?

There’s more complaining in your comment than in the piece you’re complaining about. Cry more, you’ll show those feminists!

Who on earth do you think is offended? It’s a fairly erudite and interesting exploration of the subject, no one is upset about anything. Except maybe you?
