Like so many under-age girls in the world, 'Fearless Girl's' inspiring place in the global spotlight required that she be put in her place. How dare she confront Wall Street's Charging Bull! The stock market is riding high with their bro Donald Trump, and this Financial District dude decided to remind women who's boss by humping 'Fearless Girl' in the light of night.

Architectural designer Alexis Kaloyanides snapped the pic Thursday night — the day after International Women’s Day — and posted it to Facebook and Instagram, writing, “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.”

"It was a beautiful night... there were about 15 or 20 people there," Kaloyanides said. "We started talking about the statue, a little girl about 5 or 6 years old proudly posed with the statue for a picture, it was just a nice moment. These three young men came along, and at first they were hanging off the bull... and then this one guy rushed up and started grinding against the statue of the girl, being lewd and totally inappropriate."

Kaloyanides told Inside Edition, “He was gone within 20 seconds, but it just ruined the mood of the scene. There were people there talking about empowering children and women and for then to have this 20-something showing his entitlement, defiling the statute… it was utterly revolting.” She added, “This is just further perpetuating a mentality of ‘boys will be boys,’ and that ‘it’s okay, it’s a joke, just brush it off…’ This young man likely has a mother, a sister perhaps, a girlfriend, a wife — who knows? I’m getting tired of making excuses and laughing it off. I for one am not gonna laugh it off anymore.”

Trump Effect: Manly or Not?

In a small but interesting study at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, a game -- 'Battle of the Sexes' -- revealed significant differences in male and female negotiating styles before and after Trump was elected president. The 'Battles of the Sexes' game divided men and women into pairs, negotiating a split of $20 with the result that one person got $15 and the other $5. If no agreement was reached, both parties went home with no cash.

The comparison of results before and after Trump's election to the US presidency was published in American Economics Review: Paper and Proceedings. Comparing the October games and November ones,

the men were 140 percent more likely to tell the women they were going to take the $15 or leave with nothing. "Prior to the election," the authors wrote, "men were less likely to use such tough strategies against female than against male partners, displaying what could be classified as 'chivalry' toward female partners. Post-election, this deference is replaced with increased aggression."

Men were as negatively impacted as women by the more aggressive negotiating style because more pairs ended up with nothing.

Study author Corinne Low told The Washington Post that she doesn't know for sure if the election caused this change, but the results are "suggestive that there was some kind of a norm shift," and "that suggests who the leader is could matter."

Low's study is not the first to examine the impact of Hillary Clinton's loss on the level of confidence women feel in their careers. An InHerSight survey of 750 professional women in the US showed more than 75% of women polled feeling either slightly worse (31%) or significantly worse (45%).

Marine Misogyny Scandal Widens

'Fearless Girl' isn't the only one being metaphorically f#cked this week. The scandal and investigation into hundreds of Marines accused of sharing naked photographs of their female colleagues in a private Facebook group has widened.

Hundreds of nude photos of female service members from every military branch have been posted to an image-sharing message board -- Anon IB -- that dates back to at least May. In dozens of threaded conversations among men, many of them ask for 'wins' -- naked photographs -- of individual female service members, often calling out the women's names or where they are stationed.

This new allegation comes in the aftermath of a week-old explosive Facebook story published by Marine veteran Thomas Brennan, calling out a Facebook group called Marines United, home to about 30,000 members who were also sharing nude photos of women Marines and other female service members along with their personal information. Sometimes the comments included encouragement of sexual assault.

"Come on Marines share the wealth here before that site is nuked and all is lost," one anonymous user said in a post on Monday, two days after Brennan's story was published. Follow-up replies offered a link to a Dropbox folder named "Girls of MU" with thousands of photographs. Business Insider writes:

One user asked in September for photos of women in the Massachusetts National Guard, while another requested some from the Guard in Michigan. Other requests included nude pictures of any women stationed at Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas, or Naval Medical Center in San Diego, along with many more US military installations around the world.

Democrat New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand -- the primary advocate for reform of how the military handles sexual assault claims -- sent a letter to Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. John McCain and ranking member Sen. Jack Reed saying she wants a hearing "to determine whether the online sharing of naked photos and the comments are part of a larger pattern of misconduct in the armed services."

"This unacceptable behavior spotlights a culture of disrespect for female service members that undermines good order and discipline in the military and weakens military readiness," Gillibrand wrote in the letter.
