Anyone outside of the man brigade is an effete little man child as far as I am concerned.

[Bulaba Khan Jones]

Particularly Hungarians. Those steppe archers always raise their pinky fingers when aiming their bows.

I don't see how masculinity is an issue here. It's like you must be anti-Semitic if you dare criticise Israel.

No one has suggested putting statues of little girls everywhere. I'm remarking over the ridiculous whinging over the desecration of your bronze bull with a bronze child.

[Beren]

Why not put little girls everywhere? How about war memorials or military bases? I suggest putting the same fearless girl anywhere anytime feminists feel like promoting their concept.

[Decky]

The bull is far to masculine to be outside of a stock exchange anyway. What manly work have any of those soft handed suit wearers ever did?

The wall-street bull isn't anything nearly as serious as a war memorial.

I wouldn't even be opposed to a nod towards women who died for their country in a war memorial.

Why are we putting up statues at military bases? It's like suggesting we just erect a statue in the middle of the street. Your missing the point of a street.

Frankly if it pisses off people that there is a little girl statue on wall-street so much that they are literally imagining what horrors will occur when the statue suddenly appears on military bases and will pop up whenever an evil feminist summons it from the ether then the problem may not be the statue...

[Beren]

I have another suggestion either: let's put a red star behind the girl because she should or must be a communist proletarian! I want a communist proletarian symbol there too! Then let's put there an African boy girl representing the black continent oppressed and exploited by Wall Street!

How exactly does a statue of a little girl represent equality of genders ?
Why a little girl ?

This for example can be used to show equality of genders;




But a little girl ? really ?

[mikema63]

Sure, if you own it, can pay for it, or can get the government to do it go ahead.

Personally I'd add a statue of a man weeping at the horror that is a small child statue. To represent the pain the statue causes in people with pathological issues involving large metal bulls.

[anasawad]

But seriously, what does the statue of a little girl represent ?
I mean sure there are many of those all around of people of all sorts of ages for decoration.
But how does a little girl represent equality and feminism ? Do little girls work in the fields or in the stock market or anywhere really ?
Or did this particular girl have some important role in women's rights movement ?

Why a little girl statue ?
The above statues from the soviet union represent equality and feminism is for equality as said, then those types of statues should do the representation.
But a little girl statue has no meaning or symbolism really. What should it symbolize when people look at it ? a little girl once walked here ?

[Beren]

Now you nailed it. Who cares about proles and Africans? It's little middle-class girls and their mothers with great ambitions that matters.

[mikema63]

Damn them! Wall Street bankers are powerless before the might of the soccer mom industrial complex!

Please elaborate how revolutionary middle-class feminism is.

[Donna]

This statue isn't just a banal gesture. The feminine is confronting the Sacred Bull.

[mikema63]

I never said it was revolutionary.

@Donald that's an interesting interpretation as well. A sort of spiritual feminism.

I suspect it has more to do with elite Lilith worship. It isn't benign at all.

[mikema63]

Is the golden bull not a pagan symbol? If she's confronting the bull then it would immediately suggested Judeo-Christian values to me. What about it suggests lillith?

[Beren]

There can be lots of symbolism there. Minotaur ate women for example, while Zeus abducted Europa as a white bull. In this context it's supposed to symbolise extreme wealth combined with male power ready to trample anything in its way I guess.

[mikema63]

Meh, kablahism still wins for the most interesting interpretation.
