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, nothing more than 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.

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.

I never understood the hatred of wall street.

And the good money they get from it goes to business owners in the city who provide services that they enjoy. And so on.

You really think they give a rats ass about your retirement?

They don't give a fuck what happens to you or your family.

They work for bonuses and money period. Your giving a good chunk of your retirement away if you pay someone to manage it.

Dont forget that the bull was guerilla art. A handmade sculpture that took countless hours to create (by a man), then the multithousand pound art piece was secretly transported in public by a truck. At first the gov tried to take it away, but it grew on them and it stayed.

That girl statue was made by a multimillion dollar corporation (Mcann) using automated machinery as a virtue signaling piece. So a woman didnt even have the talent, vision, or guts to put it up herself.

I don't see whats wrong with this. Its every girl's dream to become a famous soccer player, so they can make money and fuck bitches.

[–]DarkRenaissance 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What's wrong is that they're being told that they're made of iron, they are 'fighters'(that boxing girl). They're strong, independent and what not. These are all masculine qualities being imposed on feminine minds, as part of the war on masculinity. Even soccer is a contact sport, requiring toughness.

The 'correct', red pill ad would probably be them doing feminine things like cooking, dressing up in a non slutty yet nice way, nurturing the next generation, being ready to serve the man when he needs her services. But no. How will feminism continue if the next generation isn't taught(poisoned)?

Girls should be made of innocence and submissiveness. Now its squashed out of them and it can never come back. Nature has already given them cunning, they don't need and can't have strength.

  • "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.

So when women shave their legs and do their make up to appear as young as possible, they are not catering to a perceived male sexual fantasy, but to their own emotional fantasy of being child like, innocent, and protected. This explains so much, like how even feminists who externally hate men can't help their own internal desire to present themselves as children to be taken care of.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The bull was always a bull, and usually also a market symbol. Bull market is prosperity. It is the feminists that attributed masculinity to it. In their typical fashion, they created an enemy out of nothing so they can be victims.

    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.

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

    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.

    China and Japan wont be in trouble at all - but for very different reasons between themselves and the west.

    China's biggest problem was too many people - the reduction in the number of women was fantastic in its ability to reduce its fertility rate, which now under control, can be allowed to grow again. Contrast this with india which did nothing to stop pop growth except to encourage emigration. The secondary issue of controlling the men who were not able to breed is being done with prostitution, foreign brides, and upping the competition amongst the males for breeding access

    Japan, does indeed have a demographic issue - not enough workers to support retirees, but also too many people for the jobs available. The japanese approach is not to give a fuck, let the neets die out, and invest heavily in automation. There is little fear of social unrest (unlike the west) due to greater social cohesion that was brought about by resisting immigration.

    Now contrast the two scenarios above with the west, which seems to have taken the worst solutions to both problems and magnified them. There is not enough jobs to supply the population, and there is not enough workers to support the retirees. What does the west do? Invest heavily in immigration!!! Not only does this not solve the job supply issue, and thus not solve the retiree issue, but it also magnifies the strain on the social security net. Moreover, the strain on the social net is occurring when immigration causes more discohesion in society. The net result is a breakdown in society.

    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 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3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.

    The problem here is that you ignored my statement:

    "The successful business woman...."

    ...and continued with your narritive as though it was never said.

    This is the problem with the entire movement. It discredits itself as nothing more than a tantrum when in fact, women have contributed to advancing business, science, arts, etc. But they continue to perpetuate perceived inequalities because they're on some sort of validation seeeking emotional tirade. There are countless women recognizing the equality that does exist and do not appreciate these movements as they undermine hard working and accomplished women.

    I actually agreed with quite a lot of your statement - the entirety of your second paragraph, and what you say about actually successful women not needing this, and that it undermines - although I expect some of them are happy for it to be there - even if it undermines - because it can advance their success and influence.

    My post was in response to this:

    The #heforshe is another liberal-tastic feel-good motivational pom-pom shaking look-at-me movement that is an utter waste of time.

    I could have quoted to make that clearer.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    A successful (by any measure) business woman I know, was the one that said it to me. The ones that have found success (that I know) think the movement is silly. It's not just me saying it.

    You know, this could have been an effective campaign had they chosen to put a female matador up there instead of a helpless child.

    You can't overpower brute force with your touchy touchy feelings. A matador is swift. A matador is fearless. A matador baits the bull to charge, dodges the blow and then puts a sword deep in its thick skin that is impenetrable by words or emotions or feelings. You put a little kid against a raging bull; only thing that'll be left is people talking about how brave she was even though they would all agree what kind of a foolish act that was. Their plan wasn't to defeat the bull in the first place; it was to say that they tried their best and give themselves a pat on the back. It was to say how a raging bull took a little innocent girl's life. It was to swift the blame to the bull when the little girl herself was the cause of her own death.

    That's actually a good point now that I think about it. Regardless of people's opinions on bullfighting, matadors are badasses. Seriously, regarding of gender, it takes a lot of courage to do what matadors do.

    State Street Asset Management placed the statue there, the message being to encourage female participation on Wall St.

    Makes perfect sense if you ask me: hire more women and that way they get to cut costs since women are paid less /s

    [–]Bog_warrior 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Wrong. The real message is going to 3,500 companies that State Street hold stock in. They want them to put more women on their boards or State Street will divest from them. We've seen how this worked out in Norway. It really will slow down that bull. Bigtime.

    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.

    "Ms. Feminist - today in that very special day, I give you this tulip as a token of gratitude for providing us, men, with a superb metaphor how the world really looks like and accurately depicting the difference in the capabilities of the genders."

    Also, it would be hilarious if the sculpture of the girl turned out to be paid by Wall Street men.

    [–]ATLink88 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Maybe the wall street men will go out and protest the fact the scultper/installer has used sexual dimorphism to imply a set gender.

    Now THAT would be fucking funny.

    This fits perfectly into the fem-centric world. Women think they can do anything (stand in front of a charging bull), because they think it would stop in it's tracks to reconsider (as they stand opposed to all natural laws and hope they will be banished in favor of "equalism")

    They all seem to be living in a tampon commercial.

    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.

    toxic masculinity patriarchal oppression women forcing themselves

    Or it could just be vaginitis personified, penis envy gone awry -- matriarchal misery attempting to assert itself on a group that just doesn't give a fuck about metrics that deviate from 'how many hours will you work, and how much money will you make me'

    [–]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.

    LOL, I hadn't seen this story until this thread, thanks. I wonder if some shitlord was involved in this, deliciously exploiting the emotions of the fembetas to produce this hilarious symbol. It works on so many levels, a petulant, dim-witted child standing in the way of financial success who is sure to get mowed down, for one.

    but no, they put this little bitch right in front of the bull lookin like a tiny girl lmaoo, I would like to see her get impaled

    One is a man literally standing up, in real life, against an oppressive state that probably got him either executed or thrown in prison for the rest of his life.

    The other is a symbol of a little girl standing up against... a growing, free market? Nobody really knows.

    They only did this because it's a statue.

    You won't see a real little child in front of a real bull as a symbol of feminism.

    It's okay. TV taught me that the little girl will grow magic powers to allow her to take down the charging animal that weights a metric ton. Reality has taught me that two dozen rodeo clown simps will jump in and give up their 24 lives to save that 1 little girl.

It's a fucking disgrace. Whoever put the statue there ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's goddamn disgusting. Fucking just LEAVE THE GODDAMN STATUE ALONE. Women in the West have nothing to accomplish because no one is oppressing them. Why the fuck would you want to stand in the way of financial progress? Jesus Christ save us all.
