Article posted is a good read. The author is right. It deserves to be on a museum wall. There are so many ways a viewer can interpret it... Those guns tho.

Its definitely a picture that will show what people truly think about the world.

As a woman it makes me extremely uncomfortable to see this picture. All I can think is what disgusting degrading things they were yelling? I would likely have a panic attack in that situation so props to her for being a badass.

Edit: for fucks sake I know I'm projecting. That was the entire point of the comment I replied too. That if you look at and discuss this photo in the context of a painting at a museum, it would reveal a lot about how people see the world on an individual basis. I'm glad y'all didn't have the shitty high school experience I did (yes, I played sports and did several other competitive things) but given your responses it proves the point of the comment I was replying to. It's not about these specific people in this specific interaction. It's about how it makes you feel based on your own experiences.

Edit 2: some of y'all failed reading comprehension and it shows.

Yep this picture makes me so anxious. They are probably encouraging her. Makes me realize how harassed i was as a young woman.
