FEMEN Protestors Surround Cathedral in Argentina

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCD_T9Qqpc

Fascinating vid to say the least.

Basically what can fairly be called a mob of pro choice protesters surrounded an Argentinean cathedral and tried to access it but were thwarted by a bunch of catholic men, mostly young. In fact, everyone in the video appears under 30, which I would expect of the feminists but it's odd that most of the catholics seem 20's or younger.

Oh, and many of the feminists were topless. I posted the sort of SFW version here.

i have nothing important or interesting to say regarding this video.

Wow did they spay paint in that guys eyes?

This video is probably missing some context but it still looks like a pretty disgusting protest. Since when do the church in Argentina make the laws on abortion? Should they not be protesting government buildings?

There isn't much good press on it.

yuck, how to be assholes 101

IIRC, FEMEN is the neo-colonial "feminist" group that's all about banning burqas and other stupid shit.

that's founded and run by an abusive dude

Yeah fuck them.

Don't get me wrong. Given the religious makeup of Latin America, I'm sure there's a good reason to protest the Catholic Church there. I just think FEMEN is a pile of shit.

Dunno about an abusive dude being involved tho. Iirc it was some lady paying prostitutes to protest at first. V bizarre.

just look up Victor Svyatski

*prefers to shrilly proclaim my opinion rather than look up Victor Svatski*

it's become a bandwagon thing for hopeful attention seekers with copycat 'look at me i'm so rebel + oh yeah issues' protests. But initially it seems like a cia noise op. Like with those retarded pussy riot people.

lol even the australian femen looking woman that made a documentary about their movement can't seem but to tremble at the knees over the guy. Although perhaps she doesn't want to offend him given her position trying to sell the film and so keep in the subject's good books. (i wonder if she works for asio (j/ks chen))

Victor Svyatski, known as a consultant to the movement , is actually the founder and mastermind of Femen - and a really tyrannical one."He can be really horrible but he is fiercely intelligent," Kitty Green who made a documentary on Svyatski told the Independent. "Once I was in the inner circle, you can't not know him. He is Femen."

 

Femen were sent there by Svyatski, who can be "quite horrible" with the girls, shouting at them and calling them "bitches" according to Green.

In the film, the patriarch says he is forced to behave like that because "these girls are weak" and "don't have the strength of character".

"They don't even have the desire to be strong. Instead, they show submissiveness, spinelessness, lack of punctuality, and many other factors which prevent them from becoming political activists," he said in the film. "These are qualities which it was essential to teach them."

In the film he even admitted to have started Femen "to get girls" on a subconscious level. He used to pick the prettiest girls who can have more resonance in the media, according to Green.

I have really got to attend more of these protest events. Taking in the feisty ambience with some Gorecki humming away on the mp3.

Dunno, might have started out as something good, but now seems to be a mere opportunity for a buncha girls to riot for the sake of it and get their tits out. Maybe, if we're lucky, it will develop even further and eventually ditch the rioting part, resulting in a Win-Win situation.

Yo there is a massive difference between FEMEN and Pussy Riot. Massive. Also, retarded as an adjective? Are you 12?

*retarted, then

I pressed play when I read the women were topless part.

dissapointed

I liked to know of any movement that doesn't have extremists.

Thinks women are weak and spineless, runs quasi-feminist group Also, it's Simone de Beauvoir's birthday!

Am I the only one that keeps saying "Semen...no no, FEMEN. Femenists..." in their head?
