Topless warriors start boot camp for global feminism [POSTED from /r/news]

We are taking off our clothes so people can see that we have no weapons except our bodies.

I think this is intriguing as they equate their bodies to objects.

There is an ideology behind protesting topless, but we quickly realised that if we took our tops off and screamed loudly it was a good way to get attention.

And I think this is quite probably the truth behind the rationalization. They say toplessness has an ideological meaning but it does only in so far as they're topless women. There are a number of socially common ways to show one is disarmed; the salute and the wave originally served that purpose. The truth is that activism needs attention and the topless female body, as an object, garners attention. Their body is an object when they wish to use it and not when they don't. This is echoed in the idea that...

Protesting naked, as Femen’s slogans insist, is liberté, a reappropriation of their own bodies as opposed to pornography or snatched photographs which are exploitation.

Feminists never fail to make me giggle.

"I'm an individual, not a sex object. Now look at my tits!"

Just another excuse for women to act like animals in heat while demanding men act civilized.

Well I doubt anyone has a problem with cute young women going topless. Much better than all the rest of the crap they get up to.

I would turn heads in my direction if I had tits, too. How the hell do feminists put up with these idiots? Let's teach young girls that in order for you to be equal, you should exploit your sexuality! It's like a bad joke.

Okay, im 100% serious here and not trolling or anything, i have a real question: why do so many feminist protests (also peta and things like that) involve naked women? im not saying every single time women protest they get naked, i have just seen quite a few demonstrations that are either feminist or mainly female (peta) that feature naked often attractive women. whats up with this?

someone tell those boys to go put on their shirts....

Do we really need classes teaching women how to be an attention whore?

iamafeesh · 2012-09-23T04:52:06+00:00

to be honest, this is extremely pathetic and only highlights exactly why many men look down on women.
