However, I can't help but wonder how the bull artist would feel about the girl. The bull is now involuntarily interacting with something. It's like the sculptor of the girl has, in a sense, modified something already there that belongs to someone else.
Yes, that was the intent of "Fearless Girl", and no, the artist who made the bull is not happy with it, but so what. Times change and our financial markets, both nationally and even globally should not be represented by male aggression which is what a male bull does when you get in it's face. Men can also be nurturing and girls and women also can be "fearless". The bull by itself simply is an icon representing a very sexist history.
If anyone is offended by the girl being put there, then they are proving more the need to have it there.
