Amina and all of FEMEN. Not just attacking men- attacking the protesters as pandering to them.

this is how effective these women are. they strip down using nudity to get attention and PERFORM for the men and their crude, degrading jokes and giggles flashing their camera and that is as far as it gets.
these women are used for a tool, just as womens sexuality is held up as a tool for men in all things.
these women do damage to womens movement in many ways. and the men recognize this, hence continual OPs on it to put du women in their place.

right. doing exactly what men expect of women. to pornify them. and when they do this in front of bersoluni to make a point and he laughs, leers, snarks, degrades and puts women using their sexuality in place, really accomplishes a whole lot but give the pig what he wants.

men are angry.... that so many womens voice is being heard. this is the tool they use, ....
womens sexuality, to try and put the wimminz back in their place. we are having too much CONVERSATION using our brain, and that is not our place. strip down now, so the men can be comfortable in their superiority. we are seeing a continual stream of OPs that are going after women, using womens sexuality to try and shame us.

gives the cretins what they want.... To ogle and degrade. point and so fuckin obvious i do not get anyone pretending otherwise. i would really like to see who actually created the org thinking probably a man. seems pussy riot was thought up by two men with issues using women to get their message out. yea.

^(as I understand it, the bit about Pussy Riot is inaccurate)
Hopefully that makes the backlash a little clearer.
