To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.
- Valerie Solanas

This quote is from a radical feminist, and although her tone is extreme, the sentiment should not be lost upon us.

The Duke of York Column is a monument erected in memory of Prince Frederick, Duke of York. Its cost was paid by the entire British Army who forwent one day's wages to supply the cash needed. The Prince couldn't have afforded such a luxury as he was in debt when he died (possibly as much as £2 million). The debts piled up due to his love of The London night life which included gambling on cards and racehorses, and , one could imagine, loose women.

The final result is a phallic symbol standing 137 ft 9 in (41.99 m) high. It should be noted that the actual statue of the Duke only accounts for 13 ft 6 in
