[A picture of a topless Ukrainian FEMEN activist sowing down a cross memorial for the victims of the soviet dictatorship in protest of the Pussy Riot conviction in Russia is shown]
Well, Judith M—.they are feminists.
Operating dangerous equipment while Topless.
Showing off their bodies like meat on display is a sure fire way to get a man to respect your mind.
Don’cha know.
Makes about as much sense as lesbians supporting abortion.
Because nothing shows how “strong” you are like murdering the defenseless.

I support responsible abortion and am perfectly entitled to hold that opinion. Why should lesbians be denied that right?
I do agree however that nipples should be covered whilst operating demolition equipment.
When a woman chooses not to use her womb to keep something else alive, she's an evil murderer. When someone asks that the government use tax money to keep something else alive, that's evil socialism and Obama should be impeached.
Hypocrites.
Am I not the only one who's bothered because the protester destroyed a memorial of the Ukrainians who perished under Stalin's dictatorship?
That is very disrespectful, regardless of what the victims believed in.

Which shows that you obviously completely miss the point of doing it topless. But since you like to grunt, you probably only see women's boobs through a primitive mindset.
The Protesters make me sick. They destroyed a memorial to the dead of an oppressive communist regime to protest the PRAYERS of Pussy Riot against the oppressive regime of Putin. I know they were somewhat sacrilegious, but the Russian Government put Pussy Riot in jail because they are dissidents, not because it's a theocracy. Seriously, what does a cross memorial to the victims has to do with victims of oppressive regimes?
What he is saying is just kind. I get lost how he jumps from women operating objects topless to lesbians supporting abortion. Though in a perfect world, Men would be expected to contain themselves when seeing a topless woman. Grunt just seems like your standard illogical connections.
Why would this woman want to destroy a memorial to martyred political dissidents to protest the mistreatment of another bunch of political dissidents?
Either propaganda is afoot or this is one of those wackjob "activists" who do more harm than good, like the ALF & ELF.
@Mattiedef, #1465202, #1465263, SpukiKitty:
Context helps there. Pussy Riot wasn't just convicted for vandalism and a "disturbing the peace"-ish charge but also for insulting the Orthodox Church of Russia. What they did to deserve that was holding a protest against Putin during a mass/ceremony. The Church, being in coalition with the Putin government, libeled Pussy Riot of hating Christianity as a whole (they're also pretty fundie over there).
That memorial was a Christian wooden cross. So sowing it down isn't just some random protest, but a very well chosen way to give out a big f*** you to Russia and the hypocricy of the modern Russian (and Ukrainian) Orthodox Church. (Not at all to mention that the sowing down of this memorial can aso be seen as a protest against Russian influence)
Let's not forget that de jure Ukraine is a secular state, therefor building a Chrisitan cross for the victims of a past dictatorship is very doubtable action in the first place.
FEMEN is also generally known to protest against Christian-fueled misogyny and oppresion of women justified by religious beliefs in the Ukraine.
Tell the truth, Grunty, you wouldn't respect her opinion even if she put on a shirt would you? You have to admit, topless protesters get a lot more news coverage than a group of women singing "We shall over come."
How do you square this with military doctrine that prefers the enemy to be defenseless, Grunt? Would not that show how strong you are?
Think first, then opine, you dumb shit!
I like how Grunt is more offended that the women were topless and that...lesbians support abortion?
I support Pussy Riot and think tipping over the memorial was stupid and pointless, but...what the hell does Grunt's sexist comment have to do with the topic at hand? What a maroon...
Mhh, seems I'm more radical than you are, even without the conviction I would like to see every religous symbol removed, if need be via vandalism. Honestly whether this was a memorial or not, I don't give a damn.
Remember the deabte over the 9/11 memorial, I'm willing to bet my pants not all of those victims of Stalin's oppression were Christian either.
PS: Meanwhile the other side has called FEMEN "nonhumans". http://rt.com/news/femen-cross-pussy-riot-930/
ochin' plokhaya ukraintsi... -_-
I support Pussy Riot as well, but can we not tear down monuments, please?
Perhaps it's because the memorial took the form of a cross, the symbol of authoritarian religion, which I'm sure is more authoritarian in the Ukraine than it is in Europe. I'm sure the women would not object in principle to a memorial to the people murdered by Stalin, if the memorial was more representational of those people who died.
But Grunt's post still makes no sense, apart from "Showing off their bodies like meat on display is a sure fire way to get a man to respect your mind."
In a culture where the body is normally covered, deliberately uncovering it will stimulate the wrong type of reaction in most observers. Their message (whatever that may be) would be best given fully clothed.
> Because nothing shows how “strong” you are like murdering the defenseless.
"...but when we crush the minority opinions, that's totally different . Because."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
