Wall Street Bull vs Girl statues.
March 28, 2017 at 7:58 am
The bullshit sexism of antiquity still stuck in our brains.
Just now on CBS This Morning saw a story about how some are bitching about the girl being put there. Listen up men, you came from not just a sperm you dipshits, but eggs as well and GASP, you also popped out of a vagina. GROW THE FUCK UP ASSHOLES!
Evolution isn't about just brawn, evolution does not care what works, brawn or nurture, both work and neither are better attributes than the other. Girls/women are equal to men in evolution, we would not be here without both.
If anything hurts our species it has been MEN and their bullshit attitude that testosterone is the only way to problem solve. Your dicks wont fall off if girls/women do the same things you do. Your dicks wont fall off if they are in positions of power over you.

What are you talking about, Brian. Everyone knows god made women from man's rib in order to bear him many children. Women may well suffer and die in childbirth but we made that possible by giving up a rib, man. A whole fucking rib!

Can we have a link to a reputable publication reporting on this, or do you think your rant-spittle is sufficient?
Seriously, I feel like I've turned the corner in San Francisco and some homeless dude launches into the middle of a rant. It's confusing and devoid of context.

That statue of the girl got put their in front of the bull a few weeks ago. It has made national news and international news.

The artist who made the bull is trying to claim the girl statue is a cheap stunt. No, it is not. The bull is a male and especially an animal that is driven by testosterone. So if he wants to claim it is not sexist as a symbol, why would you equate humans to an animal that has the excuse of ignorance where human men don't have that excuse. He's simply pissed that times change and girls and women don't have to be subject to patriarchal icons. It is a symbol of male aggression, otherwise why not pick a gender neutral symbol?

Haven't you got better things to worry about than statues at the moment?

It is kind of a cheap stunt. Nobody is going to remember this shit in a month and it isn't going to change the world.

No, sorry. That is like telling Susan B "Don't you have some cookies to bake in the kitchen".
Progress is never made through silence. Symbols mean something just like words do. That particular symbol is male, and not just male, but is in an aggressive fighting stance. Nothing in that bull represents females, and for most of our American history women have been excluded from major positions on average. Wall Street started as a boy's club and as much progress women have made, the inequality exists. And since that bull represents not only our American economy it represents what the rest of the world sees as well.
It is a horrible symbol and does not even represent men who are also capable of being gentile and compassionate.

Go ahead and think that, but the girl was supposed to be taken down soon, but if I remember from the CBS story correctly the permit has been extended for a long time. I have no doubt with enough support women can get her to be permanent.
No it was not a cheap stunt, it was a wake up call. America is no longer a boys only club at the top.
