West Virginia is erecting a statue to honor the state's female military veterans on the grounds of the state Capitol. The statue depicts a muscular woman wearing pants and a T-shirt. Problem is, some people don't think it is "feminine" enough...
"It would have been nice if we could have had a statue that looked more like a woman"
-- Senator Anita Caldwell
"It was hard to tell from looking at it that it represented a woman."
-- Senator Jon Blair Hunter, who also said the statue should depict a woman in a skirt
"It's going to look like a female, it might not be very feminine, it will look like a nice, big, strong girl who's been through military training."
-- Joseph Mullins, designer of the statue
