So if I read the article correctly, the bull originally represented the strength of the American people.

The girl is sold as representing the strength of women, but in fact it's a secret ad campaign that was put in front of the symbol representing American strength by a global fund. And people (unknowingly) support the ad campaign and react very aggressively to people questioning the ad and call anyone who questions the ad a woman hater.

And people who want to remove the ad don't care about the symbolism, they think things are fine or they don't like uppity women.

Seems like the perfect representation of 2016.
