Aside from this, even if you follow their train of thought - they're campaigning for more women leaders by using the symbol of a child. A fucking child. I can't even say follow their logic, because there is none.

Even for someone outside this loop of stupidity.. its unbelievable. Truly, pigeons on a chessboard.

Because they are only trying to appeal to emotions. The same cliche "think of the children!" strategy.

They can't appeal to logic, because there is no logic in this retarded pandering.

How apt. In their minds, that is how life works. Strike a brave pose, and you will be celebrated, because something something arc towards justice.

In reality, the poor, delusional girl is gutted and left for scavengers, unless her male family members save her.

I think the statue is hilarious, an expensive shit test. In reality bulls attack only if provoked. The way this would play out in real life is the bull would walk around the little girl or brush her aside on his way to fuck another heifer.

You must be a city boy. A heifer is a young female cow who has never given birth to a calf. A cow is actually an older female bovine who has given birth. Think of it this way, in the bovine SMP heifer = pre wall, cow = post wall.

I find the stronger symbolism in this case is anti-development. Wall Street is a symbol of success and progress (thats why Bin Laden hit the World Trade Center) , while Feminism is a marxist movement towards regression and destruction. They quite litteraly want you to make less money, less science and less development.

  • "Woman’s greatest ideal is a life without work or responsibility – yet who needs such a life but a child? A child with appealing eyes, a funny little body with dimples and sweet layers of baby fat and clear, taut skin that darling miniature of an adult. It is a child that woman imitates its easy laugh, it’s helplessness, its need for protection. A child must be cared for; it cannot look after itself. And what species does not, by natural instinct, look after its offspring? It must or the species will die out."

Esther Vilar, The Manipulated Man.

Juxtapose this with the statue erected by feminists, a child who by virtue of their successful manipulation of the narrative, sees itself as "brave". She sees herself as "brave" facing down the patriarchy (the bull) who causes her to be a victim. However she only exists by virtue of the Bull's strength and tolerance, he has handed her the ability to stare him down. Her bratty behaviour now justified in the minds of the feminists because she has gotten away with this behaviour for decades. She now decides that she was fearless when in fact she was just behaving like a naughty, spoiled child all along. And men continue to fall for it, manginas call themselves "feminists", they embrace a narrative which emasculates them. A more realistic statue would be one where the little bratty girl holds the testicles of the bull in one hand, and a family court order in the other hand. But I guess that would be a little too honest and not play to the familiar narrative.

[–]ATLink88 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I didn't realise from your post description that they've actually positioned the stupid div right in front of it, so it looks like she's staring it down. It's so pathetic, wrong-headed and 'desperate-to-be-symbolic-and-poignant' that it makes me cringe.

Feminism must be running short of oppressors for it's constant victim narrative if they're having to demonise a fucking animal statue.

[–]GrabHerByThePEPE 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think the only message of defiance that sticks is that men couldn't erect a statue to masculine power anymore. As if the last statue of masculinity is now an anachronism that is being stared into submission by a little girl. Go ahead and try to erect another bull. That said, this message is only powerful in their own minds. To rational people, it's pathetic and even bullying.

Let us see how the little girl does in the bear market.

Hmmm...this tit-for-tat 'statue war' implied by your assertion is appealing to me.

It would surely end with steel phallus-lined streets and bronze vagina's adorning every building.

You are most likely correct though, however the bull shouldn't be taken as a slap in the face to anyone that's not masculine, if you do that then you're huffing glue.

You are right, they DID hit the symbolism on the head.

The bull could also be seen as the usual testosterone driven boom-and-bust bullshit. Planting a voice of reason in front of that is actually smart symbolism.

It's just not a good idea to make this "voice of reason" a little tiny girl in front of a lumbering beast. I mean....who the hell thought it's a good idea to make a symbol, where the voice of reason is weak and powerless and can only exist due to the benevolence of a powerful beast? And what kind of women wants to be representated as a bratty powerless girl in exactly that position?

I gotta admit, those guys are really awesome at trolling. Any women who is glad about this is dumb as a rock.

A statue of women getting in the way of men? This is their brilliant idea? Literally symbolizing women preventing economic prosperity. This is actually hilarious. It's like they swallowed the sidebar. Women, shown as a weak, stupid, obnoxiously defiant little girl, throwing their useless body in front of the engine of male power.

The other side of this is also pretty funny. Young girls haven't even inherited the only use that women have! So their representation of women is weak, ignorant, belligerent, and sexually useless. Sounds like the average feminist.

[–]TRP VanguardArchwinger 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Once again, women prove that they will stand against and defy prosperity and success for the sake of their own feelings and ideologies.

"What do you mean a bull market is a good thing? Wall Street is a bunch of MEN who keep women down so our statue is opposing the bull statue! What do you mean Wall Street has nothing to do with misogyny? Men work there!"

It's just stupid. The Wall Street bull isn't a symbol of Donald Trump, or a symbol of men and the patriarchy, or even a symbol of the government. It's a symbol for a bull market -- a period of success, growth, and prosperity.

And on women's day, the women have chosen a symbol for themselves:

A petulant, defiant child, standing in the way of success, growth, and prosperity.

This is EXACTLY how misogynists picture women, too!

In large companies with big HR departments, you need to give the female managers busy work or they go create trouble. This single statue and the no doubt 100s of meeting hours, no doubt prevented a spontaneous eruption of a new diversity program that would have driven the actual productive workers nuts. It was money well spent for State Street.

[–]goldnhorde 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The charging bull was meant to be a symbol of the strength and power of the American people following the stock-market crash of 1987.

This is not just true, but remembered in articles that are showing this today.

and the little girl is standing directly in defiance to this symbol.

The other strangeness is that while the bull is male (as are all bulls) and it is also masculine in nature .... it was never "a man's thing". it was never a "fuck you" to women. it was a statue using a industry icon to represent the American people.

this little girl is a direct and specific "fuck you". I guess my only hope is that they will not extend it's stay .... but in reading the article I didn't hear any "spine" type of comments about how appropriate or not the statue was.

[–]TangoZulu 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I find the funniest part of International Women's Day is that the official website for the march/protest has a form letter for women to download asking their bosses to give them a PAID DAY OFF to join the protest. Yes, they are literally ASKING PERMISSION from the evil patriarchy to protest against them because they are unwilling to assume the risk of doing so. And they want to be PAID to do it, to boot!

Never forget that die-hard feminists are masculine females that resent the role nature bestowed upon them. This statue is another example of women wanting "equality" at the top levels of society without true equality which would mean on the bottom levels of society as well.

"We want more women in board rooms!" they cry, but not more women as janitors, garbagemen, sewer workers, or any of the multitude of positions that are dirty, dangerous, disgusting. Yes, just more women in board rooms. Could you be more privileged?

These kind of actions are invariably the kind produced by movements led by privileged white women who are already at the top of society save for those super elite positions as CEOs and company presidents. You can bet a bunch of black women didn't think to themselves "you know what we need?! a statue of a little girl staring down that damned masculine bull on wallstreet! That will show the guys!" The symbolism of this statue is such a "white girl" thing. I bet it was brainstormed over pumpkin spiced lattes from starbucks by women with degrees in English literature.

The more women behave like bratty children the worse their lives become. Women are poorer compared to men. And children are the poorest Americans, largely because their moms are raising them alone in poverty. Women who aren't stupid don't stand in front of the bull to get gored, they make nice with the bull and ask to go for a ride.

The #heforshe is another liberal-tastic feel-good motivational pom-pom shaking look-at-me movement that is an utter waste of time. The successful business woman doesn't need or want this bullshit to artificially raise the self-importance of low-energy walking pink tacos.

The imagry of a defiant little girl is powerful yet we know is unrealistic. Women know they can influence a beast through female charm and feminine ways. Yet, when masculine imperative kicks in, they know they don't stand a snowflakes chance in hell. So they are allowed to express their cute, and touching images of femininity, and men look upon them the same way a parent looks at a child, "awww, ain't that cute." Ultimately, their behaviour helps seperate the men from the weak beta. So, support your woman or female colleagues if you must, but embrace the powerful bull inside you.

[–]throw17453 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You want to dismiss this as just a feel good, ineffectual, childish gesture. As do a lot of people posting.

Yet at the same time this meaningless gesture is producing headlines - emphasising issues of importance to feminist aims, advancing their narrative.

I have seen the argument here before - women only have as much power as men give / allow them. That may well be true. But right now that power is significant. Men may in theory be able in a second to turn the tide, but the reality is that is not happening. So in some ways that argument is as emotionally "feel good" and meaningless, as those that women engage in.

The reality of today's society is in some ways that childish little girl IS ACTUALLY as powerful as the bull. It may feel good to dismiss that and undermine it, but that changes nothing, and underestimates the power and influence that feminism has - and is continuing to have - on western society.

[–]throw17453 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (3子コメント)

You make your own readings into it.

Feminists could just as easily claim it symbolises the quiet rise of feminine strength, defiant in the face of toxic masculinity, standing their ground unflinchingly.

That it symbolises the struggle against patriarchal oppression, and the successes that women have achieved.

Like all good poetry or art, it is symbolic yet ambiguous - and each individual ascribes their own meaning too it.

It's overt meaning is women forcing themselves on a stereo typically male environment, and symbol of masculinity - and challenging it.

[–]Need2LickMuff 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think their point was that they could easily hamster up some pseudo-deep meaning behind the retarded statue since art is subjective and is hard to prove an interpretation as fact.

They could even say the little girl thing is intentional because men 'make them feel useless like children, but this child is standing up to your bullshit no matter what happens'. A line of garbage, but it can still be done, and have fun arguing a subjective thing objectively.

Finally found the answer:

The "fearless girl" statue, by artist Kristen Visbal, will be in place for a month.

But... I knew this was coming.

"Love this. McCann drop a statue of a "Fearless Girl" next to Wall Street's Charging Bull. Hope it becomes permanent."

"...it was installed after the 1987 stock market crash as a symbol of the "strength and poser of the American **people"

No mention of gender?

"Charging Bull, then, shows an aggressive or even belligerent force on the move, but unpredictably. It's not far-fetched to say the theme is the energy, strength, and unpredictability of the stock market."

Interesting, still no mention of gender?

Way to mock a symbol that has nothing to do about gender to begin with.
