    “Peak aesthetic form” lol

    There are more statues of men because most statues were made of historical figures and most historical figures were men, due to gender roles and suppression of women

      Statues made by artist choice are overwhelmingly of women. Statues commissioned by the subject themselves are overwhelmingly of men…
