re: #231 Dark_Falcon

From the article:

Honestly, I think those Femen ladies are playing with some serious fire this time. It’s not just being detained, its that a woman seen as hostile, sexual and aggressive in front of a bunch of soldiers runs a too-high risk of being sexually assaulted as a means to “teach her to keep her place”. In reality, of course, what this would really be about would be power: “We brook no defiance from a whore such as you! We’ll take from you what we want to take!”

Note: that does not mean said women to do not have a natural right to protest. They do, but in my opinion the attendant risks are far too high.

They are a mixed bag. Sometimes they make a good point and sometimes they’re counterproductive. But I will give them credit for having the balls of being consistent. They will protest in in dangerous places like Tunisia and Russia as well as the easy places in Western Europe or America. You’ll never see the Fred Phelps clan protest in South Chicago or Compton.
