WE ARE… NAKED!

When looking through the news today on feminism called ” We are Femen, the naked shock troops of feminisim”. This article depicts a new wave of feminism occurring across our seas in Europe. These people who call themselves Femen are war with a patriarchy that sees women as sex objects. Their choice of protesting weapon? Strangely enough their weapon exists in the form of, well, their breasts. This novel social movement has protestors walk the streets wearing no clothing to attempt to make a statement. Beyond their lack there of clothing, instead of featuring traditional pick-it signs, they write what they stand for, literally on their chests. Rejuvenating a rather dead feminist movement, this form Russian president Vladimir Putin, left, is accosted by a Femen activist in Hanoverof protest seems to be packing a punch. If you look to the right you can see it certainly captures the attention of current President of Russia Vladimir Putin. I find this kind of stuff to be particularly interesting. While we take our rights here in the United States for granted, those in Eastern Europe still seem to be living in the 19th century with barbaric customs that objectify women and establish concrete superior patriarchal system. Thus, it is very cool to see a group of women create a powerful organization that uses their body as a tool for change. From what I’ve been able to find revolving around Femen they are an organization merely 4 years in the making based in Kiev, Ukraine. Since then they have been making attempts to extend their reach to as far as U.S. And amazingly enough this organization in only 4 years has a total 150,000 supporters worldwide. Damn. It is crazy how much stuff can be accomplished in so little time during this day and age.
