Fearless Girl: A great symbol of the left and feminism
Do you know what happens to a "fearless girl" standing in the way of a charging bull? She dies.
Why would this be praised? A: Liberals are idiots.
But there's more!
The Orwellian left:
"CNN declared: “New York’s ‘Fearless Girl’ statue stands her ground against the Wall Street bull, even in the snow.” Had the statue uprooted itself and sought shelter from the storm, perhaps it would deserve some of the idolatry it has received."

"Thematically, it makes no sense. This is a little girl who is standing in bold defiance of a charging bull-the symbol of a market in which stocks are predominately gaining in value and, thus, creating more wealth. Is this girl standing in opposition to wealth creation? If so, the loyalty she has inspired among identarian nouveau Marxists makes more sense."
"For a political demographic that is so obsessed with hyper-analyzing gender representation in art, few on the feminist left have objected to the “problematic” depiction of female potency in the form of a child."
"Finally, it doesn’t seem like anyone engaged in the competitive sport of exalting this piece of art has examined the motives of its sponsors too carefully. [...] “increase gender diversity.” [...] Only 17 percent of State Street’s leadership positions (five out of 28) are women."
"If this is starting to feel like a public relations stunt to you, you’re a perceptive sort. [...] The implication then is that America’s most enlightened critics of capitalist, classically liberal, elite culture have fallen for a commercial; and from a Wall Street investment firm, no less!"
