zxcv22 75 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You have probably seen the famous Manneken Pis Statue in Brussels for everybody to see. There is also an equivalent female statue also in Brussels but hidden in a side street. I think the female version is beautiful and should also be on full display. Is this fair, why hide it away. 3 Quote Link to post
JesseP 1,265 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Interesting, I didn't know there was a female one. I am surprised they have hidden it away, I have been to Belgium and seem women peeing quite publicly before and no one took any notice! Quote Link to post
MissPiss 1,021 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I like that and would have one in my garden! Quote Link to post

Joost 1 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 She is called Jeanneke Pis Quote Link to post
Andrei 78 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I did not know that, and no I do not think it fair to hide that away while the boy pissing statue is on public display. But this just shows the inequality that has always been present about boys being naked (being able to pee) and girls always being covered up. Quote Link to post
yellowriver 10 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Here is the story of Jeanneke Pis (official website). www.jeannekepisofficial.com/index_m.html Maybe the reason is to mix not old artwork with new one, but I don´t know. Quote Link to post
ukpee 41 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 it is down a little side alley cant remember what the street is called Quote Link to post
F.W 5,655 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 For its pee they ought to re route a ladies toilet nearby and plumb it in to that,instead of water-real girls piss.Mmmmm.Because it looks like quite a young girl,i must admit i find it a little wrong.....Maybe if it represented at least a teenaged girl it would be a bit less odd.But its definately charming..:) Quote Link to post

Andrei 78 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I guess the youngness of the girl matches (nearly) that of the boy. He is (I would say) even younger again, and yet no one has commented about how odd it is for to see a statue of a young boy pissing. 1 Quote Link to post
Lickher2 282 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Re routing the plumbing from the ladies sounds like fun, . . . .could be used as a drinking fountain :laugh: Quote Link to post
kitty and mimi 118 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I think this is because our society consider female public urination to be taboo while male public urination is considered to be normal. but any way, I wish each of those two statues can be put in front of each gender bathroom to be used as gender bathroom signs. maneken pis should be in front of men's room while jeanneke pis should be in front of women's room.
