Here's why a 45-foot tall nude sculpture may be coming to the National Mall

... The sculpture was created by artist Marco Cochrane as part of The Bliss Project. He said the sculpture was meant to combat a culture that increasingly dehumanizes women and sexualizes the female form.
R-Evolution is just one of three giant nude female sculptures Cochrane created with his model and collaborator Deja Solis.
He said the series spawned from an idea of feminine safety that he says he's been wrestling with since the age of seven, when he learned that a friend had been sexually assaulted.
"These sculptures are about expressing what it would be like if women were safe," Cochrane said. "To me this sculpture answers that question ... She's absolutely fearless and accepting and being able to do that is a really powerful thing."
Julia Whitelaw, Cochrane's creative partner, said his early sculptures were often so life-like that people felt uncomfortable looking at them, until he scaled them up - way up.
"There was such this taboo that was happening," she said. "Men would walk in, look at the sculpture, and they would have to avert their eyes." ...
No, leftist manginas averted their eyes. Real men simply looked at it, straight on, and said, "Nice tits and ass."
