Real feminists

In the small hours of Saturday, around 30 young women gathered outside the Club Prive, a sex club in downtown Stockholm which offers strip-tease and lap-dancing, blocking the entrance.

Initially peaceful, the demonstration turned violent after three men, two club staff and one client, confronted the demonstrators, Stockholm police inspector Anders Nordberg told AFP.

More men joined in the brawl and in the ensuing violence, three men were badly injured and taken to hospital with head and face injuries. Police said the protestors appeared to have used baseball bats and umbrellas in the fight.

"When two bouncers attacked two women, the others acted to prevent their friends from being dragged into the club," a demonstrator, Monica Johansson, told the TT news agency, denying that baseball bats were used.

BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.

It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty
I hold within me.
You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
