Instead of hopes for economic growth, the bull now symbolizes oppression against the innocent.<\/li>\n<li>Federal Law prohibits changing the meaning of a work in a way that could damage an artist&#8217;s reputation.<\/li>\n<li>But removing Fearless Girl would be a symbol too \u2013 that women shouldn&#8217;t occupy space on Wall Street.<\/li>\n<li>Some believe that Fearless Girl is a poor symbol for feminism. Instead of a strong confident woman, the sculptor went with a small powerless girl.<\/li>\n<li>Yet others are critical that it was commissioned to draw attention to the disparity in the number of women on executive boards by State Street \u2013 a company that only has three women on a board of 11.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/xx_factor\/2017\/04\/12\/the_charging_bull_sculptor_is_right_fearless_girl_should_go.html\">Slate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the hours before International Women&#8217;s Day, a bronze statue called &#8220;Fearless Girl&#8221; was installed directly in front of Wall Street&#8217;s famous &#8220;Charging Bull&#8221; statue, without clearance or permission.
