| Almost as if out of central casting, some Wall Street finance broseph
appeared and started humping the statue while his gross date rape-y
friends laughed and cheered him on. He pretended to have sex with the
image of a little girl. Douchebags like this are why we need feminism. _______________________________________ |
A photo of a man “humping” a Wall Street statue
symbolising female empowerment has gone viral on Facebook, just two days after
the artwork was installed to mark International Women’s Day.
The photo shows a man in a suit posing
behind the “Fearless Girl” sculpture
which has been placed facing down the iconic charging bull statue in the heart
of New York’s financial district. See more picture below
Many have reacted with anger and disgust on social media. Commenting on the photo, Zak Rouse said: “The
complete lack of originality in this ‘joke’ is indicative of how there
is a whole culture of rape and not just a handful creepy guys as some
people like to claim.”
The statue was unveiled by investment services
company State Street Global Advisors on Tuesday, and has proved popular with
New Yorkers.
On Sunday, 13,000 people had signed a
petition asking the city’s mayor to make the temporary installation a permanent
feature on Wall Street.
Lori Heinel, a senior figure at State Street
Global, told Business
Insider she wanted the statue to apply pressure on companies to
appoint more women to top finance jobs.
