on this planet.

She also has a flair for pissing off status quo loving patriarchal anal douchebags everywhere.

I like this young woman.

It is odd the the BBC link fails to mention the cemetary wall being vandalised. dipsydoodle May 2013 #1
I thought the "Tyler" was a nickname, because she looked like Liv. MADem May 2013 #2
Her 'style' is defacing 1500 year old buildings? How interesting. HiPointDem May 2013 #4
Have you ever been to the Middle East or Northwest Africa? MADem May 2013 #6
i didn't notice any on this mosque. HiPointDem May 2013 #7
First and foremost, she wrote on a WALL. Not a MADem May 2013 #33
there's only one 'wall' there, and it's the wall surrounding the mosque or the very short wall HiPointDem May 2013 #36
Good--we've gotten you to acknowledge that it's a wall. MADem May 2013 #38
it's a 'wall' surrounding an ancient graveyard beside the mosque, within the mosque complex, a HiPointDem May 2013 #39
And if she wanted to spray paint the wall of a world heritage site MADem May 2013 #47
'NEAR an historical site' = lol. HiPointDem May 2013 #48
Glad you find it funny. You're still dead wrong. nt MADem May 2013 #51
heckuva job HiPointDem May 2013 #53
Temper, temper, now! MADem May 2013 #55
Speaking of inferring - why are Feman and Amina inferring R B Garr May 2013 #59
Well, they are trying to get attention for their cause. MADem May 2013 #61
Look at the FEMEN photo... JimDandy May 2013 #75
The vid: all those people, not a woman in sight except for her. delrem May 2013 #71
ps: no idea why she was initially styled "tyler". i haven't read anything about it being because HiPointDem May 2013 #12
Not even close... Pelican Jun 2013 #84
The hate here by some for this young woman is repugnant cali May 2013 #3
you seem to be laboring under a big misconception. self-chosen, however. HiPointDem May 2013 #5
+1. Haters gonna hate. backscatter712 May 2013 #18
Your crazy CT about Amina's links to CIA, World Bank, etc. didn't mention that FEMEN is also idwiyo May 2013 #8
i didn't write any OP like that. neither did i get any of the information from any site like that. HiPointDem May 2013 #9
Your CT about Amina's links to CIA, etc fits right in with the rest of the CTs about FEMEN links idwiyo May 2013 #10
link me to the post where i talk about cia. or any of that other stuff. HiPointDem May 2013 #11
You forgot about all your posts where you kept pointing that her last name is Tyler? idwiyo May 2013 #15
1. i remember posts where i speculated about whether she had a foreign husband or father. HiPointDem May 2013 #32
Speculating that her father could be a foreigner with the last name like Tyler, bringing up idwiyo May 2013 #73
Good grief--now I am understanding the outrage and upset. MADem May 2013 #52
what's pathetic is you & your friends' smear tactics. HiPointDem May 2013 #54
I speak only the truth, and it sets me free. MADem May 2013 #56
It should ring a Bell--this CT. All it lacks is Bill Gates, Detroit, and North Korea. nt msanthrope May 2013 #17
I am sure Bill Gates is implicated in it one way or another. Wouldn't be surprised if Dear Leader idwiyo May 2013 #26
Our Dear Leader would never! support Femen! nt msanthrope May 2013 #29
Sure he would! It's the only way he can buy yellow cake from Africa - pay FEMEN to overthrow idwiyo May 2013 #30
So the anti-Femen posts are COINTELPRO? The Illuminati? I need a msanthrope May 2013 #34
This sounds BONDIAN....James Bondian! MADem May 2013 #35
OMG! I think we uncovered GLOBAL conspiracy! THANK YOU for pointing connection to Iran and idwiyo May 2013 #60
+1. We should be asking that people spreading this shit on DU get exiled to the Dungeon. n/t backscatter712 May 2013 #19
I wish they were. This CT is definitely one of the crazier ones I saw so far. idwiyo May 2013 #22
Well, this OP should ring a Bell, so if we have a Zombie Dungeon, yeah...n t msanthrope May 2013 #27

What is this, third grade? Comrade Grumpy May 2013 #28
I'll be your huckleberry. Zorra May 2013 #21
Thanks for this excellent post. It seemed blatant to me the manipulation R B Garr May 2013 #16
"Thanks for this excellent post." Did you copy-and-paste this all by yourself? n/t backscatter712 May 2013 #25
Sheesh, are you ever going to grow up and start mindlessly obeying existing institutional authority? Zorra May 2013 #37
yes, far better to defy it mindlessly and give fuel to the fundies when the country is in danger of HiPointDem May 2013 #40
Really? You want us to be good little Democrats and appease right wingers yet again? Zorra May 2013 #46
Fuck appeasing the fundies. backscatter712 Jun 2013 #92
provocations bring recruits to the right. there are other ways to defy them that don't. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #95
And a thank you for finally calling what she's doing what it really is R B Garr May 2013 #43
That was sarcasm. Sorry if that was not clear to you; I'm always forgetting Zorra May 2013 #45
Okay. Thanks for the background R B Garr May 2013 #66
Defacing World Heritage Sites is a big no-no. LuvNewcastle May 2013 #23
She didn't deface a World Heritage site, though. MADem May 2013 #41
the graveyard is part of the mosque complex. so yes, she did. HiPointDem May 2013 #42
There you go again! MADem May 2013 #44
why are *you* so outraged? you just can't stop. i really admire the work our people are doing HiPointDem May 2013 #49
Because you're mischaracterizing this woman's actions. MADem May 2013 #50
you're getting boring. just smoke. goodbye, i'll leave the thread to you & your buddies. HiPointDem May 2013 #57
I am not getting "boring." I'm ripping your argument to shreds. MADem May 2013 #64
What's amazing is that there's a woman in the picture, delrem May 2013 #72
The photographer might be her male escort. n/t JimDandy May 2013 #76
I suspect the larger point is that she'd be wearing a MADem May 2013 #77
Hmm, woman does act of political theater/civil disobedience, pays price. Comrade Grumpy May 2013 #24
Pretty much. Brigid May 2013 #58
I notice that you've made your points without stooping to insult anyone who might have a different redqueen May 2013 #31
"I think it's to provoke and to give ammunition to the far right. Zorra May 2013 #62
People in another thread were being nasty for no reason. redqueen May 2013 #65
Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but why bring that shit here? MADem May 2013 #67
Because I appreciated the lack of nastiness. redqueen May 2013 #68
Well, the snide insinuations to "the usual suspects" are hardly the high road. MADem May 2013 #69
Here's what I mean: "Femen is financed by a Jew" Zorra May 2013 #63
That's one hell of a nasty website. Mind you, it's tame to compare it to some other shit I saw idwiyo May 2013 #70
you're the only one posting such crap. nasty slimy smear tactics. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #96
Looks like others have defaced that same spot on the wall JimDandy May 2013 #74

what is "“breast feed revolution” supposed to mean? bettyellen May 2013 #80
Can you please stop inventing bullshit to be outraged about? Is't there enough problems IRL for you? idwiyo Jun 2013 #81
so you have no idea either, huh? bettyellen Jun 2013 #82
Amina is sending messages through dyeing her hair blond and wearing shorts? Are you OK? idwiyo Jun 2013 #86
once again what is "breast feed revolution" ? It's a clear cut question. Why avoid it? bettyellen Jun 2013 #87
See post #85 below, if you can, but I suspect I may be on your ignore list. nt Zorra Jun 2013 #88
I just did, thank you. Not big on ignore, unless I get nasty PMs, LOL. bettyellen Jun 2013 #91
Do you believe that everyone should act and dress just like you? Zorra Jun 2013 #83
No, but I did get the impression that Femen did. Blonde, lots of makeup, daisy dukes, no flab... bettyellen Jun 2013 #90
I forgot ~ The breastfeed revolution is women being allowed to expose their breasts and feed their Zorra Jun 2013 #85
Wow, never heard of it. My initial impression was that it was a bad translation! bettyellen Jun 2013 #89
The translation is simply missing the plural "s" on breast. As in Zorra Jun 2013 #93
Ahh, I was thinking it more an iffy translation of nourish or help grow. bettyellen Jun 2013 #94
