'Fearless Girl' statue will keep staring down Wall Street's bull

'Fearless Girl' statue will keep staring down Wall Street's bull
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/03/27/fearless-girl-statue-wall-street-charging-bull/99687078/

he "Fearless Girl" will continue staring down Wall Street's "Charging Bull" for at least one more year.

New York Mayor Bill De Blasio said the bronze, ponytailed girl "has fueled powerful conversations about women in leadership," and the statue will remain on Department of Transportation property as a part of its art program through February 2018.

"Now, she’ll be asserting herself and affirming her strength even after her temporary permit expires — a fitting path for a girl who refuses to quit," de Blasio said Sunday. The statue was originally permitted to stay until only April 2.

After her installation on the eve of International Women's Day, the "Fearless Girl" has drawn widespread attention. Tourists have taken countless pictures with the girl and dressed her with both pink Pussyhats from the Women's March to red Make American Great Again caps from President Trump's campaign....

Maybe it depicts every good progressive's disdain for the evil capitalism represented by Wall St.  :shrug:

The same situation in reality would be horrifying to them.

Staring down a bull wouldn't do anything other than get yourself killed, especially a small girl. What a meaningless thing.

Reality: As Rachel Corrie was to the bulldozer, so would be this girl to an actual bull.

Back in the 80's there was a public art piece that was just a giant slab of metal somewhere on government property, and it was pretty controversial because it blocked people from going into and out of the building. In NYC.

So sad to see the snowflakes upset over the sculpture of the little girl.

She's obviously a white girl and there's nothing to indicate she is anything but straight.

So, you're suggesting that USDA needs to add "Predestined" to its beef grading system.....
