NTDWA – Sculpture honouring military to be changed after being criticised for portraying sexual harassment
An Egyptian artist has been forced to change a sculpture honouring fallen soldiers after it was criticised as apparently depicting sexual harassment. Mother of the Martyr features a slender peasant woman, a common representation of Egypt, being held by a helmeted soldier.
But residents in the city of the Sohag claim it is inappropriate. The concrete statue, located close to a girls’ school in the city, has yet to be formally unveiled. Along with criticism of an apparent unwanted advance on a woman, others suggest the 8.5-metre-tall artwork depicts Egypt’s military seducing the country. 
The governor of Sohag, Ayman Abdel-Monaim, has ordered an investigation into the commissioning of the statue. The controversy underlines the difficulties faced by artists in the country, analysts say. Sculptor Wagih Yani, 60, is now modifying his work, removing the soldier and placing an olive branch in the hands of the woman.

I have an easier fix. Leave it the way it is and tell everyone it’s a statue of Joe Biden.
Mixed-gender public restrooms are sexual harassment. Letting Joe Biden take your kids into a public restroom would be child endangerment.
Why is Joe putting his hand on W.C. Fields leg?
LOL… that last picture… the poor trooper looked horrified.
Sybil, everyone behind them has the WTF look on their faces too.
Obvious creep is obvious – and oblivious.
