Because when I think of women with strong leadership skills, I always picture them wearing Chuck Taylor's. https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image ... -d254b.jpg |

The bull is the symbol of a strong and growing market/economy. I guess having the girl stand in opposition to that is the perfect metaphor for feminism. Stand in the way of real progress until you get some bullshit demand Either that or she's a pinko who needs a helicopter ride. If you want to appeal to everyone, have her standing against a bear. |

What's bullshit about this statue is that it is a parasite to the bull sculpture. Without the bull she goes from being "Fearless Girl" to "Petulant Brat". |

The guy should just move his bull to a different location. Fearless Girl cannot stand alone. If the bull is gone she'll just look like a dope. |

Sell tickets, concessions, and PPV ... do a Newman's Own gimmick and donate the profits to, say, women's shelters or the Girl Scouts or me or whatever ... at least then those dopes would've been worth something in the end. |

Can we take the author of this tripe with them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/man ... 078ca72c93 Quote: Just as the “Fearless Girl” statue represents female empowerment, the image of this man defiling it represents why we need feminism in the first place.

Fearless Girl is just a pinko commie standing against capitalism. She needs to board a Pinochet helicopter |
