That tweet went viral over Memorial Day weekend. It all started when Ash Hernandez saw the statue on her way to take a teacher's certification test. She was so outraged that she ran back to her car to get her phone to snap a picture.

" The sculpture just screamed mansplaining," Hernandez told Women in the World, a New York Times affiliate.

Hernandez sent the picture to her friend Cathy de la Cruz, who tweeted it out. The tweet went viral, prompting other Twitter users to post photos of statues they found sexist.

If you didn't see the sexism in the statue, you're not alone (and probably a sexist by these standards). If you instead see two friends talking on a bench, then congratulations,you understand art better than you think.

Because that's what the statue is actually depicting.

"It was two students visiting, talking … implying nothing beyond that," the sculptor, Paul Tadlock, told WITW. In fact, that's Tadlock's daughter in the sculpture. And the reason the male student has his foot up on the bench? It's not because he's talking down to the woman. It's because Tadlock wanted "to add a little more character to the scene."

Tadlock also said he wasn't that upset over his sculpture being misinterpreted. He didn't even know what mansplaining was until it was explained to him, in which case he agreed it happens.

"Because guys, young guys particularly, love to tell everything they know to impress the girls, and the truth is most of the girls know it
