Someone thinks we enjoy this.

sometimes I wonder if these people are just repeating what they've heard 50 times, but have never actually been here at all.

We don't need to tackle, or be at all violent with ignorant radfems. We give them enough of a smackdown through words.

The commenter is a supporter of Femen, the group from which this image originated, (also posted in the comment to which the commenter was responding to.)

Tracing up the thread, I saw that the image was posted in response to "Where in the FEMEN charter does it say they want "repression of men and inequality in their favor"?"

So I looked up their site. They don't have a publicly available written charter, just images, videos, and sound files.

I also found their youtube video of their protest at the Vatican on Sunday, targeting not an activity specific to their protest, but the pope leading the Angelus prayer, a fact I found in this story on the protest when I looked for more information.

It's one thing to protest in favor of gay rights, demonstrating in front of government buildings to make a statement against oppression - that I would fully support - but they're not doing that. They're interrupting religious services where the topic isn't even in discussion, not protesting where laws are passed or at court where legal decisions are rendered. They're protesting the recent expression of an opinion which didn't change a court's ruling, and they chose harassment of uninvolved church members. This would be like if a bunch of guys interrupted an internationally recognized Wiccan circle's esbat (a celebration that is not a holiday) in protest of legislation like VAWA by dropping their drawers, jumping around, and shouting "Shut up feminazi!" at the circle's high priestess simply because of widespread pagan support for feminism. Not that I wouldn't pay to see the response... but it wouldn't be a very persuasive protest, and there would be no purpose in doing that but antagonism... which is the only purpose I see in that video.
