    depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented

    How would a bear without a penis represent more people than a bear with a penis?

    The cantonal government was responding to a written question from Liberal Green parliamentarian Thomas Brönnimann, who wondered whether it would not be more appropriate to depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented.

    I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice…

    It should come as no surprise to anyone that the U.S. city of New Bern has removed the penis from its coat of arms.

      FYI, this design has been penisless since it was founded.
