No need for a link, it's everywhere in the news. Just google it.
I find the symbolism quite awesome.
The iconic bull statue on Wall street was installed in 1989 as a symbol of "bull market": share prices rising, generalized optimism, prosperity for all... But the strongly masculine image never escaped anyone: the aggressive, strong, belligerent and unpredictable aspect of masculinity symbolized just as much in the muscles and horns of the beast as in its massive testicles that visiting women and beta males just love to fondle and take pictures of. It represents that same strong masculinity that is necessary to navigate in high finances: massive risks, massive rewards, massive losses, massive creation of wealth, massive destruction of resources.
So it was just fitting that at some point in our modern times, feminists/women would need to counteract the overly Masculine symbol by a Feminine one.
They just did. At the occasion of the International Women's Woe-is-me Day. And in the most splendid manner: by choosing the image of... a defiant little girl.
The combination of those two symbols is full of meaning. I love it.
First, apparently when women see Men as strong charging bulls, they see themselves as defiant little girls. Exactly as the red pill teaches. So next time you feel bad about having to force yourself to see women as children in order to Game efficiently, just remember the statue that feminists put on Wall Street: they see themselves as defiant little girls so why wouldn't you?
Second, the irony of the symbol didn't seem to have registered in the mind of those who put it there: what do you think would happen if a little girl would defiantly stand in the path of a massive charging bull? That's right. She would die on the spot in an absolutely horrid manner. It is likely that, in the last milliseconds of her short life, just before the sharp and strong horn - projected with fantastic kinetic energy by tons of muscles moving in a coordinate manner towards a single goal - eventually connect with her pale, young and fragile skin covering her soft belly, the young girl's defiant attitude would cede place to one of tragic fright. She might just have the time to form in her mind the distinct thought "I have made a terrible mistake. What was I thinking?" just before stupidly losing her precious life... The symbolism of it all just shows, as clearly as it was possible, how out-of-touch with reality feminist dogma is. But then, what would you expect from a little girl?
Lessons learned:
May you keep this image in your mind, my friends, to remind you always that:
Women can be seen as defiant little girls. They think so themselves.
Feminism is just little girls posturing, unconscious of how reality works. Don't break a sweat over it. Break a smile about the cuteness of it. While women take pleasure in massaging your big shiny balls.
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.
Heifers are boys with no balls bulls don't fuck them
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.
Dang city slickers never gettin nothin right.
Those are steers.
A heifer is a cow that hasn't yet had her first calf.

No.
I was confused for a while, too, but... and you might need to sit down here... Rocko's modern life just named the dude heifer. He's not actually a heifer.
Well, it's not completely baseless. What about tank man? We attribute honor to those who die on certain hills.
True oppression vs perceived oppression. Thats the difference
The motives behind tank man and this statue are very different.
One was fighting for actual freedom and democratic rights. The other is fighting for.... A cute Instagram pic? I don't know.
Not to mention he could have fucking died!! Doesn't even matter that it was for noble intentions, it was actually brave.
I'm sure the PRC had him "disappear" after all that was over
I agree. /u/Platos_slow_brother was attacking the idea of the weak standing up against the strong; that's what I took issue with.
I'm glad you raised that point. I did think of talking about it too because the parallel was obvious but refrained for the sake of brevity.
When I was a young, idealist progressive, I thought of Tank Man as that symbol of the resistance to oppression. Shit that's powerful man!
Now years later and as a realist, I gotta ask you: What's the guy's name? You don't know. Nobody knows. And we don't know because that man got captured right after (you don't see that bit on posters as much as the standing in front of tank aye?) and vanished. He was in all likelihood killed less than 24h later after a very probable long and painful interrogation. Another question for you: what did his bravery result in? Answer: Nothing. Absolutely nothing changed on that day in China or ever after in the decades since this happened.
The only thing that this man's brave action resulted in, besides getting killed, is getting young, idealist westerner progressives' collective dicks hard because of the power of the symbol of resistance. The symbol was printed on posters and tshirts and started thousands of discussions, but in terms of actual effects on reality: nothing.
The collective bravery of soldiers fighting and dying in a hill can change the outcome of the battle sure, but the bravery of an incredibly weak opposition to an incredibly strong force is nothing but a symbol for those who wish reality was not so awfully real. The collective bravery of French résistance to nazi occupation during WW2 had an extremely minor influence on the outcome of war. The number of résistants who were killed in the process compared to what they achieved is incredibly unbalanced. If it wasn't for the superior force of the US entering the war and saving the day, that minor resistance would have been but a barely noticeable splinter in the foot for the otherwise unstoppable march of the evil nazi war machine over Europe.
The symbol is great food for thought and discussed at lengths in the safety of homes, but the reality trumps the symbolism every time.
The fact that that you think you can definitively say nothing ever came of the tank man goes to show youre talking out your ass. Too cynical old man. Im sure youve done multiple studies into how tank man effected the younger chinese populations ideas of the government. Sure.
I'm happy to accept the idea that it "effected the younger chinese populations ideas of the government", but where is the bloody outcome? Tiananmen protests date from '89 so 27 years ago. Surely three decades of "effecting ideas" should have been enough time for something to happen out of these ideas right? Yet the party is still in power, as well as censorship.
But again, I'd be happy to be less cynical and be shown what actual results did this man sacrifice brought about? I read between your lines that you know you subject so hopefully you can point me to a couple actual changes.
EDIT: ah shit. I read your comment history and see you're just a blue pill troll. I had hoped for a second you had actually some expertise so I could revise my position in light of expert information. But I guess you just got triggered by my comment on "young, idealist westerners".
No i just happened upon this sub. Thought it was a joke but yall are serious. I guess my string of comments was me trying to figure out just where youre coming from. Still so much to learn!
In this forum, anything by, for, about, relating to, or trending towards a girl or woman is basically on the same level as a corpse and sewage sundae. The statue is baseless and pointless. It's of a girl. Girls are not men. What a dumb fucking statue.
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.
He wasn't attacking "success and progress." He was attacking American economic imperialism.
Lol, Imperialism, you and your jihadis can join the feminists for a big retard-gangbang.
Sure bud. Try learning a thing about geopolitics and history.
"They hate our freedoms."
cuck
One may tend to resemble the other, to bitter, psychotic desert people
I never understood the hatred of wall street. Like do these people know that guys work insane fucking hours looking at really boring shit to make your retirement accounts money so you can retire after living a nice, fulfilling life? And the good money they get from it goes to business owners in the city who provide services that they enjoy. And so on.
Lmao have you ever met any real traders?
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.
I don't hate Wall Street but your comment is rediculous. Make hamster going light speed.
Lolol they get bonuses... IF THEY PERFORM WELL!! Which means your retirement does well
Disappointed that you got down voted. Sort of shows the level of intellect in this sub.
Its also a high paying career that accomplishes nothing. Nothing actually gets done you trade class B electronic stock with electronic currency, sell things like financial products etc....all the banking system has done is allow people to accrue massive amounts of debts while simultaneously thinking they are rich haha. Fucking crazy to honor that entire industry. To mention the retirments ha. They take charitable money, they take pensions and mortgages then they leverage you to make themselves money and if they fail the taxpayer takes the bill again. It is the most artificial organised scheme that is not only operating it is one rapidly growing profession. The world is so fucking ludicrous to have any belief left in these people. They are just thieves, they know they are thieves. That's why it is run like a frat club full of drugs booze and women. It is nonsense.
Sorry pal. Take econ 101 then get back to me.
I really want to start thinking of women as children but I don't want to start thinking of myself as a pedophile.
Tough call, mate. No one said swallowing the Red Pill would be easy.
I think it's very apt symbolism because feminism is literally standing in the way of capitalism and disturbing economic progress.
That's a very good observation, thanks for bringing it up, it is always a good reminder.
Oh my did you not get any dates with girls when you were a kid. This is really sad to read. I know this is some kinda women hating sub but this is super pathetic
You must be new here.
We don't hate women, we love them for who they are, not what they want us to think they are.
Then what's wrong at all with this statue. Not to mention the incredibly insulting text post of the op. Also lmao you're so enlightened
I know that you're still sobbing into your pillow about Bernie, then Hillary, losing, but, when you lash out in your impotent rage, please do so in an informed fashion and kindly read the sidebar so you don't make an ass of yourself next time. Cheers!
Not sure where politics became relevant
Is it hating women to celebrate them for what they are? Look at how off-the-rails gender relations are right now. No one knows how to address anyone. Everything is offensive. Women put forward such a weak stance that they need the threat of force and violence to accomplish anything.
But if you seek out the happiest women in society, what is making them happy? Push aside the depressed, lonely, bitter women and find the happiest girls you can. Why are they smiling? Ask them.
Then come back.
The happiest women in the world are the ones receiving genuine affection from high value men. No surprise there.
I think a lot of men come here to vent their frustrations rather than actually partake in discussions.
You've got to remember that this little girl statue is just someone trolling. It has no other purpose. It's not teaching us anything.
That 'little girl statute' was put up by a firm in order to prove how 'diverse' their board is. They claim 1 in 4 boards don't have a woman on them, and this little girl symbolizes equality. LOL
I can feel the hurt in your words, who hurt you friend?
Guys this is TRP don't waste energy and words on someone who isn't worth it.
I'm not the one making fun of a statement for women's equality behind my keyboard in some cringy echo chamber like some 4chan fag so i'm fine
You think that putting a statue of a small girl in front of a giant bull is a good symbol of equality? A 7,000 pound icon of capitalism and power of an open and free market; a beast mid-charge, ready to take on any adversary and challenge them with its large sharp horns.
But yeah the little girl with open arms who seems oblivious to impending doom. Equality.
Even if you take away the Bull what does the little girl represent alone ? A Childish , ignorant, and naive sense of Bravery in the face of anything . The logistics of the Bull give it a little more context but at the end of the day it's a sense of naive pride, misplaced bravery , and an appeal for attention against any oncoming or perceived force . The girl stands in the way of "something" bull or whatever , that is all .
Let's be honest this sub is ridiculously dumbing down the symbolism in a very male way. It's not meant to be a fight, why the fuck would anyone fight a bull? It's a symbol of bravery and strength in the face of adversity.
It looks pretty poor on this sub how upset one little statue of a girl made you all and how poorly you all chose to interpret it.
Maybe one day you'll come here to actually learn something.
Equality? Wait you think it could ever be possible that girls can be equal to men? Either you're a girl, or a very weak male. A bit of info for you cupcake....
Nobody is equal, absolutely nobody. Everyone is different and capable of widely varied things. Equality is impossible without holding back those who can achieve to keep them with the weak and incapable. Reality doesn't give a fuck about your feels.
Those who are capable of greater things will always find a way overcome obstacles anyway so it shouldnt be a problem right.
This sub celebrates masculinity. Not equality with women.
There is nothing inherently hateful or full of contempt about OP's message. He is simply giving a literal interpretation of the statue.
What benefit does this comment provide you?
Do you truly think symbolizing 'equality' by representing women as little girls as a worthy act? It is filled with irony.
it's okay, you can cry here
Says the entire sub bitching about a meaningless statue for women's equality if you're gonna be sexist don't hide behind the bullshit you guys spew. Own your awfulness
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 expect to be PAID to do it, to boot!
Ah, sweet lady irony, there you are!
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.
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.
This says it all right here. For what the girl symbolizes, a woman didn't even create it. lol
Whose idea was this? Someone should file a lawsuit on them for being sexist that they didn't plant a boy's statue with the girl's.
Hah - Nike is even using children it. It's utterly absurd. Nike: What are girls made of?
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.
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.
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.
What's wrong is that they're being told they're heroes fighting the wall street "patriarchy", when they're useful idiots serving the wall street capitalist agenda, by competing for jobs, undermining freedom of speech, etc.
Don't part time baristas make more than the average "pro" woman athlete?
Anyone see the Audi commercial during the super bowl? Audi: Daughter
"that she will automatically be valued less than every man she meets?"
Cognitive dissidence. Everyone knows, if only subconsciously, that females have innate value and males are disposable. Only the top 20% of males have value equal to (or greater?) than a female and the rest are invisible. Male value must be earned and demonstrated whereas female value is automatic - the exact opposite of this comercials statement. It has to do with evolution. Eggs are more valuable than sperm. Genetic variance is played out on the male DNA but not the female. Females are the bottleneck of reproduction.
People have female bias built in. That's why the logical ridiculousness of feminism exists and our culture is gynocentric. I suspect culture always has been gynocentric, even in times when men dominated and subjugated women.
Goddamn. I hope the critical mass that Rollo talks about is reached soon. The more shit they spew, the more the younger girls are corrupted.
This explains why democracy does not work.
And why CIA astroturfing does work.
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.
This was actually due to successful marketing from razor companies like Gillette who wanted to get the other half of the market addicted to their products.
And it worked because it makes them feel like little girls.
Possibly, but im convinced it worked more so b/c men found it attractive and on a nationwide scale.
They do their make up to get the approval of other women. Turns out women judge each other for how they look more than men judge them for it.
If you have ever dated a or flirted with a woman who has a baby voice you'll notice that she ratchets up the "childish cuteness" at the most opportune times (when they want something). Many are in fact appealing to the male sexual fantasy.
Piggybacking off Themis higher comment:
I went to the Bull during my lunch break and captured some footage
be mindful of doxxing yourself bro
So powerful
bwahahaha! no one cares about the petulant child.
That's what you do with brats: ignore them.
how 'bout a meme?
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 statue is freaking awesome. Such a sign of disrespect for the woman statue to be even built in the same vicinity.
This is why I love this sub. This is fucking poetry.
Awesome post dude.
It's really ironic since the bull and bullish markets also signify progress and growth. Putting this statue up seems to indicate feminism is defiantly stopping both...
Noticed that as well... I guess maybe there's an argument that the bull market uncontested has lead to the economy to someplace worse... now that I think about it Elizabeth Warren probably put the statue there..
"as a symbol of "bull market": share prices rising, generalized optimism, prosperity for all"
Quick, we need something to counteract and be the opposite to this. - Feminists Logic.
You are right, they DID hit the symbolism on the head.
No fun allowed, no progress allowed, don't you dare inject capital into growing companies without MY permission. Bow down and kiss the ring, and I'll allow you SOME of the freedoms you used to enjoy.
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.
They could have at least used Aphrodite or Athena or some other female God that can at least withstand the wrath of the bull... Ffs they're so fucking stupid.
Hah. "Progress, and an intelligent, disciplined carry-through of specific goals? Nope, gotta get in the way."- All feminists
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.
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.
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.
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.
Put a bear right behind the girl, 8 feet tall and mid strike.
Or a statue of a massive spider, that'd fix her wagon.
Virtue signalling. Whats the lest amount of wave-making one can do, while showing that they are against the system...
slacktivism gone amok.
Funny aside, I work beside the Canadians version of this, we have a field of Angus cows, lounging around. Typically Canada, copy what the Americans do, but screw it up in some meaningful way.
Literally replaced a dominant bull with imbred foodstock
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. If a woman is reading this, please be a matador; not a little girl. Respect.
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.
Imagine for a second that she isn't gutted, and that she stops the bull.
She just stopped the bull market.
Its times like this when the deliberately obfuscated link between feminism and communism really shines.
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!"
Feminists should change their name to Femidiots, like they don't care about money, because men will always provide.
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!
Lol best joke I ever heard. Fucking idiot.
It's interesting to me that the statue was placed there by State Street Global Advisors, which is the third largest asset manager in the world and manages over $2 trillion.
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.
Ostensibly State Street claims they're sending a letter to 3,500 companies insisting that they increase diversity on their boards of directors.
Another 100 hours of meeting time to come up with the draft. Woot.
And just in time for "International Women's Day". They know how to play the masses like a fucking Stradivarius.
Are we going to have a 'kiss women's asses day' every month now?
Tomorrow will be hilarious. I can see the headlines now - massive lay offs of women, and the patriarchy will inevitably be blamed instead of the lack of responsibility displayed by not showing up for work to march and be a useful idiot.
Tbh, it will probably be like the "day without immigrants". One company fires a few dozen and that will be the end of it.
Errrr..what? Bit outoftheloop
It's International Women's Day, whatever the fuck that means, so there are massive planned job walk outs and protests to show us stupid men just how much we really need them.
Male needs them yet they treat us like pets and tools?
Oh wow talk about "equality".
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.
Don't forget the gender equal cabinet brought in by cuck Trudeau in Canada.
Oxfam says that they are not feminist enough...http://globalnews.ca/news/3291233/feminist-scorecard-oxfam-canada/
Fuck oxfam and all the rest of the cultural marxists out there.
Let's put a woman in front of a real bull and see the reaction.
:D
Very good analysis. It's all about feelz over realz.
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.
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:
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.
But you're right... it does generate news which means advertising dollars. I do suspect some of the effort is being inflamed for the ad revenue.
If anyone has been on youtube today they are honoring International Women's day by changing up the YOUTUBE logo a bit with the hash tag #herVoiceISmyVOICE. Check out the intro video its only about a minute long and from end to end is leaning on emotional appeal to make a statement. Also, get ready for what your about to see at the :37 second mark. It's nothing new, but prepare yourselves.
Its funny.....I had a slightly different take on your ending synopsis.
This being the twillight zone episode where the child is given unlimited power and the parents have no ability to stop the abuses of their son. The episode ends with them living in continual fear as their reality continues its downward spiral.
Pretty much sums up western society - but thankfully the 21st century is asia's - they will take up the torch of the crumbling west
china and japan are both doomed due to demographics. China will become a third world country unless they genocide their entire elderly population. US and Europe will continue their domination as always
Nah, japan is having low birthrates but they will still have a cohesive society, unlike the west, inviting the invaders in "because if we dont thats raaaycisss"
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 Beast from the East will devour them.
They should've used a cow but they wouldn't because it hits too close to home.
I love the bull statue. I walk by it all the time. It's a powerful symbol of New York's strength and dominance on the world stage.
The bull statue is badass. Such disrespect to put that "fearless girl" statue in front of it.
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
A female taking accountability for her actions? Don't think so.
"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.
It was paid for by State Street Global Advisors in a bid to promote more gender diversity in the financial sector.
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.
Few working there would risk their neck for posturing. Plus they're busy working.
So wait is it going to stay there? Or is it just for today?
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.
They should have put a statue of a cow waiting to get fucked instead of that little bitch.
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.
"Fearless girl" ironically exposes the naive false sense of empowerment of the Go-Girrrls. "Hear me roar" she says with her smug Patriarchy-busting pose.
A powerful counter-point message would be to surreptitiously add the statue of a man - perhaps her dad - desperately lunging horizontally between the bull and the girl and reaching out with his arms in a vain attempt to separate, shield and protect the girl from an obviously tragic and stupid mistake. The beta male once again sacrificing his life to save the petulant go-girl from her tragically misguided bravado. To save her from her solipsistic naivety. An artful interjection to remind people of the real social cost, of the real sacrifice our civilisation commits for tolerating the rising discourse of the Feminine Imperative.
The fellow at Tiananmen square that faced off with a tank was brave. This is just artistic posturing.
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.
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'
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.
Ahh..
Went right over my head.
I was thinking "In real life, this isn't going to end well."
They shoulda at least gotten Wonder Woman outs with a machine gun or something.
Do you really live vicariously through a fucking Bull statue? That's very "Alpha" of you
I personally think that the girl statue is TERRIBLE. What the fuck is wrong with these people. It's like parking a painting of a muscular dude directly next to the Mona Lisa as defiance. 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. Women's day is like inject yourself with cancer cells day.
I remember when this sub was about sexual strategy. Now everyone is circlejerking about a fuckin animal statue. What a great sub this is now.
Some great points to which I bounced right on my boy's johnson. I especially liked the portion where women are children and men are strong. Not because of the content, which was dogshit, but because at that point my boy was really giving me the dick hard. Thanks for the material to bounce to.
Lol, the bull is a good luck symbol and is supposed to represent a positive attitude toward the growth of the economy- the bull attacks by swiping its horns upward-- you WANT the bull to succeed, as opposed to the bear which represents the opposite, the attitude that the economy will decline- the bear attacks by swinging its paws downward.
This is kind of ironic by the artist- wouldn't it be more apt to have the girl support the bull if the message is that hiring women is good for the economy? Instead she is standing in the way... If the artist adhered to wall street's symbolism of the bull you could interpret the statue in a very different way.
Women’s day attempting to demasculinize something that wasn’t intended to symbolize masculinity at all. That bull is THE icon of THE largest financial hub in the world, for almost 150 years, and it’s meant to represent the bull markets of wall street, the rugged capitalism and ferocity of global investing, the unpredictable madness of the markets analogized perfectly in a raging bull. All of it’s now confused, castrated, and cucked by a petulant girl staring it down. Women’s day put her there specifically in defiance of this innocuous symbolism, conflating it with “toxic” masculinity, as they endlessly crusade against the phantom of patriarchy.
its just a statue though why does it bother you so much?
"You mess with the bull, you get the horns."
I can't think of a better way to describe feminism's actions in recent times. This is just adding to the mix. It wouldn't surprise me if, in the coming times, we experience revolution, and someone decides to impale the statue on the bull.
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.
You think women put that there? That is the work of men. No normal, a.k.a. bangable, woman is going to have the gall to do some dumb shit like that.
"A defiant little girl" I love this lol
Some of us aren't American. It's nowhere to be found in the news across the pond.
So little girls are opposed to market growth? I don't understand their intended symbolism.
What does the so-called "international day without women" hope to accomplish? My reaction is good riddance.
Thank you for this post hahahaha I couldn't stop laughing.
I thought this was a joke and maybe there was some "business woman" statue near there but not right there, maybe down the street so they show there's a new "women in business narritive"
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
I like your analysis. How would you compare/contrast the defiant girl statue with the Tienanmen Square tank guy?
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.
Judging by her pose I'm guessing the mean bull won't share his wi-fi password.
As a man his contribution to society/history/political discourse is negligible, despite his infamy and the pleasing manner in which the Chicoms are embarrassed about it now.
This brat's statue though...this...this is really going to shake shit the fuck up.
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.
A statue is weak. A statue doesn't move. A statue is like a beta simp. They don't fear it.
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.
I know 3 people personally that work on Wall St. They're all young women that I graduated with last year.
I guess tourists won't only be grabbing the bull's balls now.
It's hilarious, considering that feminists are the CIA-led "useful idiots" serving Capitalism.
Youtube's got a stupid #hervoiceismyvoice thing going with it's website emblem.
This saddens me deeply.
An image that would more accurately reflect reality would be to position the little girl astride the bull's shoulders with her same "defiant" posture, pretending to be superior to the bull and entitled to sit there.
Did no one else notice? She (feminism) is standing opposed to the Bull statue. Not the Bear statue. The Bear represents a falling market and a deteriorating economy.
Feminism is opposed to the gains and progress made by the modern man. Not the fall of economy. It has no constructive role in society, it is not in solidarity with struggles of men to build a better world, to create wealth, to achieve prosperity. It's opposed to those values and struggles.
This is deeper, truer symbolism of the placement. Feminism is opposed to progress.
Unless if it is a lion charging then she is obedient puppy.
It's way too easy to trigger you little dudes.
It's funny, where did you and other passing trolls see I was triggered? I wrote I loved it!
I know you did. You love being triggered.
Gee, I wonder which one of New York's BRAVE, FEARLESS women actually made that statue. Oh that's right, it was almost certainly a man that made it.
A quick googling would show you it was made by a woman called Kristen Visbal.
