    This is not a London specific problem

      It’s a problem that mostly needs to be solved at the local level, though.

    It would be noticable how buffed and polished the breast and crotch areas would be.

      There’s a statue of a naked man in the UK that had to be cordoned off because his dick got the same treatment … it’s a human problem, not a gender problem

    Probably because history doesn’t give us many women to make statues of. That’s either due to most women living fairly mundane lives due to social norms of the time, or because they just didn’t get recorded. Either way, they are lost to us.
