The overhyped, cutesy statue "Fearless Girl," which depicts a plucky tyke supposedly facing down Wall Street's "Charging Bull," was the scene of a photo op today by the news media's beloved future presidential candidate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who posed with the statue in feminist solidarity.

The American Spectator has some enlightening background on "Fearless Girl": "[A]t the statue’s feet is a plaque reading 'Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference.' The significance of SHE? That’s the NASDAQ ticker symbol for SSgA’s Gender Diversity Index SHE fund, a niche product aimed at dopey leftists who demand to invest in politically correct corporations... So it’s an advertising ploy, you see."

Nevertheless, the left sees "Fearless Girl" as a symbol of defiance in the face of patriarchal oppression. Hence Warren's silly posturing on Twitter:

The original artist of "Charging Bull," Arturo Di Modica, never intended his work as a symbol of domination, patriarchy, or any other bête noire espoused by leftists. The Spectator describes the bull as symbolizing "a vigorous, unstoppable, spirited capitalism, full of motion and unpredictability and change." And yet New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has even accused Di Modica on social media of having a misogynistic agenda:

Women taking up space? As The Spectator notes, nothing "excludes women from Wall Street. The question is why Wall Street should care about Girl Power, or tiny fearless princesses, or Gender Diversity index funds. Wall Street is about results, and the people — regardless of race, gender, or any other elements of 'identity' — who can drive them."

The Spectator concludes, "Wall Street is about the Charging Bull. It isn’t about feminist posturing." Somebody tell Elizabeth Warren and the fawning mainstream media.
