Boo, those bloody Muslims get all the fun - titties in life and then virgins for blowing themselves up.
It's about time more pretty women started getting them out in public and flaunting them in the face of the general public.  |

It is a question of tolerance.
Humans are not tolerant by nature.
Possibly a Darwinian trait where one can only progress if one is top dog.
Beating human nature down is what civilisation does. Watch kids in a playgroup whacking each other for whatever they want.
Until humans learn how to behave in society we are beasts.
Itchy, there is a'tradition' in the UK of, 'What's mine is mine and what's his is ours too.'
It may take several generations to educate the world. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Femen is a batshit insane borderline cult, started by an hilariously misogynistic guy called Victor Syvastki, because "the girls couldn't have started it [Femen] on their own", apparently. So far, their primary long-term plan seems to involve making money off media royalties and selling souvenir-style paraphrenalia. The main things that they're noted for as an organisation is property damage and public nudity - they've not really got any significant gender equality wins under their belt, unless you're talking about balancing up the female:male ratio in prisons.
Personally, I'd argue that between Femen, the third wave and Tumblr, feminism is on the verge of eating itself. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

Oh right, I thought Femen was just a media buzzword for feminism or something.
Well, maybe those who know about Femen will be quick to judge and brush it to one side. But for those who are unaware, who simply see two Arab women making provocative gestures to demonstrate their individuality and break free from the misogynistic society they live under, it's still only a good thing.
Many people will be the same as me, unaware of the apparent cult or misogyny behind the whole 'Femen' thing. They'll just see it as another activist movement representing women's rights, and dump it in their memory alongside things like the Arab woman who gained world recognition after driving her car by herself in Saudi Arabia. It's all helping motivate the women in that culture to break free from the shite they're dealing with. Regardless of who, what, how or why it all took place.
The actual event is what is it, and the results will be the same. Unless some kind of anti-Femen smear campaign comes along to put it in a bad light for no reason...
EDIT: Think of it another way. You're simply saying, "This is Femen therefore it's bad." What if it was two random Arab women who'd decided to do it of their choice? Same actions, same publicity, same result.
Also, I agree feminism is going too far and is a fucking bore in most places. I'm sick of some of the shite they're coming up with ('mansplaining', 'manspreading', and, worst of all, 'rape culture'...). But Arabland has still got a long way to go. For that reason, women on stage with their boobs out is more than just a couple of ditzy idiots getting naked for attention. It's gonna speak volumes over there. |

Most of the terms that you list are Tumblrisms, therefore to be immediately ignored - if you've not encountered the yawning chasm of an echo chamber that is the gender politics/SJW region of Tumblr, save your sanity and steer well clear of it. I only ever engage with it insofar as it's touched on by a different forum that I frequent, and some of the shit that bubbles to the surface of that pestilent hole is beyond repellent to anyone with an above-room-temperature IQ. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |
