I agree on this one. in what universe does ironic boobage and borderline-rioting ever work as a testament towards progress? maybe they should consider more respectable tactics to convey their message.

Hey guys, going on a limb here.
No matter what you stand for: running across a room half-naked, screaming swearwords in the middle of a public gathering and spilling water with violent intentions on ANY person is NOT the way to reach peace or to be taken seriously. It makes someone sick, spoilt, bratty and unbecoming.
Well, quite recently Femen did all that I described to Archbishop Leonard in Belgium, gatecrashing a talk that he attended. I am in solidarity with those who find Femen's acts OUTRAGEOUS AS HECK. It's sickeningly ironic that they masquerade under the image of love, peace and progress while doing all that I described above. And besides: I'm a girl; they have absolutely no bearing on what we girls can do or can't do.
And don't they also say that if you don't stand for something, you'd fall for anything? Well, this drawing might be nothing much, but this and my prayers are the little bit of solidarity that I can give for now. Maybe more might come, and admittedly, I am frightened of the day...
Well, I've no regrets that the drawing is bold, brightly-coloured and says something.

Troisnyx responds:
It's like one of my friends keeps asking with regards to them and people who are doing it wrong: "what colour is the sky for them?"
But that's the sad thing: radical feminists associate 'feminism' with going beyond the respectable, saying that things which are respectable are too cliche and degrading of them. Femen thinks that way too. : ( It's just... What's the shame in being gracious and loving?
That having been said, I have to give kudos to Archbishop Leonard: he was silent through it all, when he could've broken out in anger -- and he sat down and prayed for the rioters' forgiveness.
Awesome.
