[quote]Each new recruit to the Ukrainian feminist movement FEMEN, famous for their topless stunts, has to show off her breasts to audition for the role, according to firsthand experience by a TV journalist who flashed in order to infiltrate the group.
•The woman told tsn.ua website that she had to agree to be photographed topless in order to be admitted to FEMEN and be kept abreast of their activities.[/quote]
"kept [B]abreast[/B] of their activities"
I see what they did there.
hot
They must be really racking up the dough.
isnt it kind of wildly ironic that the auditioning process for a feminism group sounds pretty much similar to auditioning for pornography?
So basically people will do anything for money?
femen really just needs to calm down and think before doing things honestly because i mean there are so many better ways to advocate feminism than what they do now
i mean they really need to sit down and try to make a new platform based off of actually trying to reform things instead of promoting themselves because they really don't do much good for feminism
[quote]The undercover FEMEN “activist” also received instructions on how to behave in the thick of the action. Soon after she became member of the movement she was sent to Paris to take part in another topless stunt, this time around in a Muslim district of Paris.
According to the journalist-turned-FEMEN-protester, the expenses of each member of the risqué Parisian operation allegedly came to at least US$1,300, including the airplane tickets, hotel, taxis and food.
In fact, Ukraine’s FEMEN feminist protesters are now officially based in the French capital. The group’s headquarters were registered in France. Their objective there is to fight discrimination against women. They plan to tackle the issue by wearing slogans urging Muslim women to strip.[/quote]
While I agree that Islam (like Christianity) has many misogynistic elements, it should be clear that there's a difference between choosing to wear a headgarb and being forced to wear one.
I don't know the specifics about the Muslim community in France, but it is not non-Muslims' duty to reclaim the hijab and burqa. Only feminist Muslims can do that.

This is literally the equivalent of a Muslim woman telling bikini-clad girls that they are "being objectified by society and should stop dressing so provocatively." The burqa/hijab is only oppressive when others are forcing women to wear it. Women who actively choose to wear the burqa/hijab often feel empowered in the process.
