Alexis Kaloyanides, an architectural designer from Queens, NY, was excited to visit the "Fearless Girl" statue on Wall Street after it was erected on International Women's Day, but what she says happened next was beyond what she expected. "It was a beautiful night . . . there were about 15 or 20 people there," Kaloyanides told Inside Edition. "We started talking about the statue, [and] a little girl about 5 or 6 years old proudly posed with the statue for a picture. It was just a nice moment," she recalled.

Kaloyanides said things went downhill when "these three young men came along, and at first they were hanging off the [Charging Bull statue] and then this one guy rushed up and started grinding against the statue of the girl, being lewd and totally inappropriate."

Kaloyanides, outraged by what she had witnessed, took out her phone to take a picture of the disgusting moment. "Douchebags like this are why we need feminism," Kaloyanides wrote in a now viral Facebook post with a photo of the guy she alleges humped the statue of the little girl.

Kaloyanides told Inside Edition that she was "tired of making excuses" for inappropriate behavior from men. "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,'" she said. "I'm getting tired of making excuses and laughing it off. I for one am not gonna laugh it off anymore."
